Fiction

But first, a PSA: America’s worst charities. Don’t give money to charities that spend all their money fundraising. When the cause is very small (such as a specific, rare disease), resort to professional fundraisers and a lower percentage going directly to services can be understandable and acceptable. But nothing like these, including Youth Development Fund, which sends 80% of its donations to fundraisers and uses most of the rest to pay a company owned by the “charity’s” founder and president to make scuba-diving videos starring him and then to pay to broadcast those videos. Disgusting. Check names carefully, and check online, especially for anything veteran-related.
