    Uh oh!

    I have always worried about things like this when I see the prompt to donate to some charity via a large corporation. You never know if you're simply subsidizing a donation they were already planning upon making anyway, to where the charity doesn't get a single additional penny from your "donation".

    In general, it is never smart to donate to charities through large third party corporations. Either donate directly, or don't donate at all.

    I tell all checkout idiots to quit grifting. The one who got reamed was the one pushing a Covid shot. They quit it after.

    Ive heard big brothers and sisters is a scam and they sell the clothes you donate. Pretty lame. We donated previously and had a nice surf board with the stuff a guy in a 4 by 4 stopped and asked my wife if it was for free. She said go ahead and help yourself. Also lame.

    It starts as a sore on the toe that doesn’t heal. Constant infections.

    Then, oh sorry it’s in the bone we need to take the toe off.

    Then, a few other toes get infected. Shortly after lop them off.

    Then, oh the lower portion of the foot isn’t healing, lop it to the ankle.

    Then, that doesn’t heal, gets infected. Below the knee amputation.

    Then, the prosthesis to help you walk causes pressure sore that doesn’t heal. Above knee amputation.

    They make lots of money off you along the way.

    Meanwhile, the rest of your body deteriorates from immobility and you die in a nursing home cuz no one is gonna take care of your obese ass 24/7 at home.

    Please, visit the buffet again and again, fast food it on the way home, drive thru of course, and never go to the gym.

    The healthcare merry go round and big pharma is counting on you.
