7 Year Old Donates Entire Piggy Bank . . .
. . . to help Hurricane Ian victims. He donated $200 that he had been saving for an electric scooter or a Corvette. All the feels.

I haven't made a donation yet. This inspires me to get off of my duff and make a donation. It won't be to American Red Cross, though. I am not a fan of them. They did not treat people in South Louisiana very well after the floods of 2016 that caused more than 60,000 homes to flood.

@RajunCajun : Not sure if it's still like this, but years ago it was discovered that the majority of United Way donations went towards the huge salaries their top people were paid.

@Catmae : Yeah. United Way came to my employer back in the '80's to ask us to pledge money. They were going on about all of the great agencies that the money would assist. They also said that we could opt to direct our money to one specific agency through United Way. I asked them why wouldn't I just make a payment to an individual agency without giving to United Way who will keep a percentage of what I give. They hemmed and hawed and had no answer. I've never given to United Way or Red Cross, and I never will. There are agencies out there that are managed far more effectively and with less waste.

@RajunCajun : That's funny that you say that! Back in the early '80's, the company I worked for actually heavily encouraged all employees to give a portion of every paycheck to United Way. We got a pin to put on our ID badge that looked like the one in this pic. And by heavily encouraged, I mean we were just short of forced to give.

@Catmae : Many employers have twisted the arms of their employees to donate to the United Way. It somehow is a feather in their cap to get 100% participation. I always have resented being told who I should donate to. I give from the heart and not because I am coerced!

@Catmae: it really hacks me off when employers do this. United Way sure had some schemers to be able to get so many employers to sign up and be willing to bully their employees. I never did fill out one of their stupid pledge cards. I've never been one to cave to peer pressure regardless of the source of that pressure.

@Daiquiri : Same here. Especially way back then, I was living paycheck to paycheck as it was. To be forced to give to UW was not something I could afford, and when I found out about their distribution of donations, I was really hacked off.

Tell that kid he needs a lot more for a Corvette. Tell him not to waste money on electric vehicles. How many in FL can't get their Teslas started today?

Someone needs to tell that kid to invest that money in some stocks. By the time he's 21 he'll have money for the 'vette and some more for partying. YOLO!
