Corruption Money Given to Charity

November 3, 2008 By Charities Blog

There will be always money coming from unknown sources. Usually, these originate from people who are up to no good like felons and convicted people, definitely welcome but not needed as far as campaign procedures are concerned.

Much of these have been traced to reach the U.S. presidential candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain. And while these transactions were traced, it is apparent that to avoid any untoward audit of campaign funds, such amounts are said to be headed for a worthy cause; charitable institutions.

There was no specific number specified although there was one felon who admitted wiring $7,000 and structuring financial transactions. At least you know that $7,000 is on its way to these charity groups, names of the organizations of which were not divulged.

Was it done intentionally or another publicity stunt to look good in front of the potential voting population of America? If perhaps there would be a probing team released to audit and oversee these funds, then perhaps the real intent and amount of funds disbursed will surely be seen.

This is not to question the integrity and character of the presidential candidates. But once news like this leaks, it is something that can work against people considering money is a very tedious word in the industry today.

But as far as the charities are concerned, as long as they can get support and help for their cause, all is welcome. If there is one group that needs help these days, that would be the charities.

A Penny Spared is a Penny Cherished

February 1, 2007 By Charities Blog

Deep in our pockets, we often disregard the presence of loose change in the form of pennies and quarters. The overall value of these in a monetary aspect would be seemingly useless, but to the people who are not so well-off in the financial aspect, they would go a long way in adding to their savings for daily needs of survival.

Loose Change

While it is true that people have not been that lucky or have mismanaged their lives somewhere along the way, but the bottom line is that familiar phrase “every penny counts”. Bickering and scolding people who have made a mess out of their lives, both in the natural course and of their own doing, will always be realized when all has been done.

It would all come to a stage in life where asking for help in the form of pennies or goods would become imminent. But just the same, extending a helping hand with things that may not be as important may become someone else’s treasure.
