Letter: Good causes have killed the goose

I live on Social Security and a modest pension and have always considered it an obligation and a privilege to share with the Red Cross, Salvation Army and the local animal shelter and food banks.However, somehow my name was “shared” with every charity on the face of the Earth. If I were to give a minimum $20 to all requests, I would be mailing off over $100 a day.“Every child in Africa and Central America needs food and/or major surgery.” “Save the elephants.”
