CID had BROWN NICOLE listed, but a man was calling. Called me by name and started a plea to donate money to a veterans organization. Possibly legit, but you can't donate to every charity that calls.
I know that the Red Cross is in desperate need, but they call my house at least twice a week asking for donations despite the fact that I repeatedly tell them that neither my husband nor I are able to donate at this time. I have asked repeatedly to be taken off the list and the best that's happened is that they waited about 2 weeks before calling again. Once.
I also receive these calls. Please understand the great work that the American Red Cross does and the constant need for blood products. Once you understand the need your frustration level should disappear.
