...well that or yet again shake my head at "humanity". I use that word loosely. I have to be very careful with relaying this story..due to my job. But here goes my best effort. My job is very community oriented and very much about helping out the good cause. I have thrown myself into helping out with the upcoming Relay for Life, for the American Cancer Society and that's where my focus has stayed for the last while, so I was less focused on another "good cause" that's been going on around me. There's a small child who has cancer (awwww how sad) well the "god mother" had started a fund to help the family with medical expenses, part of the fund raising efforts included a huge get together one night that many of my co-workers paid hundred's of dollars to attend. As well as donations rolling into this fund on pretty much a weekly basis. All for a good cause you understand. Well today by happenchance a co-worker discovered that this fund is being used horribly innapropriately. Anything from mortgage payments, to dinners out, to shopping sprees at area malls, to manicures and pedicures.
This in and of itself is proof enough to me that I will not give my hard earned money or time to any causes that I don't thorougly research and know beyond the shadow of a doubt are indeed a good cause.
I imagine now that light has been shed on this ..... fraud charges as well as other sorts of charges will be pursued on this woman, but my goodness! She deserves a foot up the rear...or worse. I'll just have to sit back now and wait and see what happens, but giving great customer service is going to be really hard now that we all know...Ugh!
