I got my ponytail cut off about 5 years ago but it was too gray! for locks of love.

Some of the charity scandals may actually be faux charities with very similar names, who fool people into believing they're the real deal. Best bet is do your own due diligence, just like you were going to invest (because that's what you're doing, in a way.) Charities do have overhead, unfortunately. Even my cat rescue has overhead.
