The number is the charity Kids Wish Network, operated out of Florida. They grant wishes to dying children, I guess similarly to the Make a Wish Foundation. Operators come on strong with details about the dying children and how they will not live much longer. Very strong. If I choose to donate, I will donate to the charity I am more familiar with
Charity Navigator had an article about them.

They call your house hoping you dont answer. They obtain your personal information online. Then you become a victim of Identify theft, or your home has been burgularized. They call and spoof saying they are
collecting from Kids Wish Network....DO not give out your credit card information over the phone.. Our home has been burglarized. DO not answer your door to sales
people who come to your home. DO NOT let strangers in your home. Deal with businesses that have proven track records. DO not hire illlegals...ask to see their green cards!!!!!! Person from this number called asking if we had firearms to sell. They only firearm they will be seeing is a Smith&Wesson if they break into our home again.
I got a call today asking for a donation to help the VA I told the lady NO I can not help she said the lowest donation is $30 and I can file as a tax deduction. I told her NO then she went on to say if I can give her $20 I told her NO I hung up. Sounded to me like a scam. I never give my info out and never do a donation over the phone. Plus I am on the do not call registry and I still get calls like this.
Caller asked me to donate to the VA with a donation that is tax deductible. She asked for $100, $50, $30 I told her No I cant help she insisted with saying any money will help and asked for $20 I told her No still she asked for $15 she finally got the hint and said Okay thank you. I am on the Do not call registry I get people always trying to sell me things or donate money and if you don't answer they keep calling. This is so aggravating!
