Yesterday and today Donald Trump presented checks for $100,000 each to:
Projects for Patriots in Sioux City, IA
Puppy Jake in Des Moines, IA
Support Siouxland Soldiers in Sioux City, IA

I like it that he is giving significant amounts, but not amounts that would overwhelm any one of these small charities.

On CBS, Face the Nation, this morning he explained why they weren’t giving anything to the Wounded Warrior Project. He mentioned their overhead, and the fact that Trace Atkins was fundraising for them. I would not be surprised to see a turn-around at the WWP.

Thank you Donald Trump for helping raise 6 million dollars to help
support some Vet groups, especially on so short notice.

Great to see. Like I said, Trump and Cruz didn’t win, the vets won!

Trump...a true Christian, coming to the aid of those in need. So different from those who claim to be good Christians, but then hide behind the constitution in denying aid and comfort to fellow Americans who are in need.

God bless this man who is giving up the ultra luxurious life and devote his time instead to serving the people and make Americas great again.

I was happy to see at least 2 groups address veteran homelessness.

2 of those charities are DAV groups, and the DAV is awesome. I give to them regularly. Gary Sinese works with them.

It was nice of him to donate a million dollars of his own money. To put that in perspective, that for him, is like donating fifty dollars if you have $50,000.

For the charities and those they help, though, it is significant, I am sure.

Years ago, my wife and I were on vacation at Pismo Beach, Ca., and the Wounded Warriors rode their bikes down and up big Sur to get there. They stayed at the same place we were staying at.

We talked to the originator at that time. If our memory is correct, he was a Marine and wounded in service. At that time he said over 90% of the funds raised went to the WWers and events like that bike ride to raise awareness.

I believe that the originator died and the problems started after his death.

Last year my Norton Safe Search caught a similar labeled organization as a not safe site to be on or to donate too, after I got an email from them. I confronted the guy with that so called charity. He said that it would be taken care of. I never received any more emails from the guy or the site.

Liz is the FR expert on bad charities.

Deception is so bad in many charities. We now only donate to our local Salvation Army and our church. We have many friends on the local SA board and as past board members.
