The ASPCA will not accept $5 from me
I was watching TV and the ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLachlan's song came on and it made me cry! So I was like, donation for you! But they won't accept the $5 that I am trying to give them! I can't afford to give them money every month, and I can't afford the minimum $25 one-time donation, either. I mean, if I gave $25 to every charity I donate to I'd be really poor. I could then itemize deductions, but the tax savings would not be worth it. I believe in charity, but not if I have to sacrifice paying my regular bills. It's important to give responsibly. I guess when I get paid I could give them $25 and no more for a long time. I've given the most money to the United Spinal Association. I signed up online because I wanted some free address labels and ended up giving some money. I think it would suck really bad to be paralyzed. Then they shared my address, and now I have way too many and I give to like 5 different charities in tiny increments over time. Like $3 or $5 or something. So, it's ok. I added up what I gave last year and it was like $100 something. Yaay.
