This is not joke, why we don't have charity here, where members can ask for some funds if they have problems, this is really good especially for some days like Xmas... Of course this is just suggestions, I wish to hear from you..
yeah charity is nice , but how would you or everyone at dp who gave to this charity know that the person who asks for it is telling the truth , anyone could turn round and say they were skint
Not on topic at all but here is my suggestion. www.humanityfirst.org this is the best charity i have found so far. Even those who work for them are volunteers my Unlce is president of the charity and he just came back from a meet at UNO . No one gets paid to help everything is on volunteer basis. If you are want to volunteer (Doctors Specially) Feel free to let me know i can ask my Uncle to contact you If you need help seriously you can contact them too so no need to beg @ DP
If everybody donate a $1.00 per month and get some of these smart ppl to figure how to allocate to the right person who really needs it would be a good start. it would be an ongoing learning experience but thats just my .50cents. P.S. i really do believe that help ppl is a good karma effect.
hey i would be willing to donate a $ a month no probs , but no matter how smart some of the webmasters on dp are , they are never going to know who is telling the truth , sounds great idea but impossible to work out who is hard up by them being online
why not ask shawn or the mods if we could start a digital point forums lottery , everyone who wants to participate pays in ( whatever amount ) wekly or even a monthly draw , and whoever wins gets half the months or weeks lottery takings and suggests a charity for the other half to be sent to might be impossible to do , im not sure but i bet somone could come up with an idea how to manage it
Thanks jaree , i honestly think it would be a really good thing to do , and i bet someone in here could come up with some sort of mod to make it work
i am not saying it is going to happen , i was saying it would be a good idea , whats to say dp could not benefit from it aswell
Actually, i sure there are some very honest and ethical members here. Churches can do it and they have no problems than why can't DP members figured out how to allocated donations. My quote is "you never know until you try it" found out the requirement are first than yoru know if its ,right for you.
Charity has happened on DP many times, maybe you missed those moments like Rob's neighbour Reggie. The best bit about giving is just doing it, to someone who needs it and does not expect it, you don't need recognition or a thread to parade such efforts. Most people don't need to walk too far to find a worthy cause, so go for a walk, and give. Edit: Just wanted to add I wasn't having a dig at you!, Good idea, just that it does happen. I forgot the V7N SEO comp in which I came first and Hulkster came second and we donated thousands to the Celiac work, so plenty does go on.
