The holidays are coming. In case you haven't noticed. 
It is especially during these times that we are asked to donate to charities and causes. And I have to tell you that I have mixed feelings about it. Not about giving. But how and to whom.
I have been the recipient of charity and I am very grateful to this day for it. For example, one Thanksgiving my mother and I had no food so we got some from a local church. It was a very humbling experience but it also made me more...
