No, my perception has always been the same. Weve been collecting money for African children since the 70s and their still poor. Weve been collecting money for cancer since the 60s and ther ehave been no improvements. We have been collecting money for homeless since the 80s and there are more homeless now than there ever had been. But all these charity bosses hav 4 houses and drive around in mercs... it doesnt take a genious to figure out whats going on.. The latest scam in Cork is "Share" aparently their collecting money for dementia, and why then are they only around at xmas... ive never see them around any other time of the year, only the week before xmas.. and what the hell are they going to do for dementia, if a person has dementia they have dementia, giving them a 5e note isnt going to change that... load of shit.. theres hundreds of millions in funding from the EU and government for dementia and care homes and all that, they dont need your 3euros.. believe me..
