Anytime you donate to a charity, you are donating to a 'stranger'. I am not saying this to make you donate, since I can't do that, and don't want to do that...but, to say you can't donate to a 'stranger' is kind of odd.....to me....

I think it just makes more sense to post nothing, if you can't donate, you can't. That is your complete right. But, to mention the reason seems tacky to me, some how.
Geez okay I'm sorry I posted. Saying a prayer for Bassett. And just for the record--by 'strangers' I meant, my parents would think this is some cheap ripoff from some person online. They wouldn't understand. The reason I posted a message was to send some good thoughts her way (and posting that would let her know) and explain why I couldn't send more.
