    I did post a story about a personal situation very similar to this. I am sorry about you loss. There are some situations that seem and for the moment insurmountable, especially in the realm of "charitable corporations". Most people go about there lives not knowing that charitable and corporation do not always go together for the benefit of man kind in general but for the sou purpose of profit.

    Some examples are The united way which spends 90% or more of its donations on "operating expenses or that "goodwill" is actually owned by one man who gets $1,500,000 per year as the CEO or what ever title he chooses. Another that comes to mind is the "Donate your car or boat" scam In most cases the charity gets maybe $5 from each car and how many are even reported. It is a net work set up by one person to get a piece of the action. It is basically a net work of scrap yards and tow companies. who send a piece of the Profit to the organizer They in turn give a small portion to Good will who takes another piece and a minute part goes to a company who sells donated items for near retail prices and pay little to their employees or those in need.

    This is a hard situation to over come because 92% of today's Americans don't bother or have the time to research these charitys tho the info is very easy to get, especially a busy exec of a company struggling to make a profit.

    Morality in general and in business got us where we are today. It started with the "robber barons of the 1800s when there were few laws governing business . as they came under the scrutiny of Honest Regulators they slowly with their vast wealth over a period of decades had their own regulators appointed or elected. and here we are.



    Elections are financed by billionaires and trillion ares, until that changes nothing else will.
