This is a SHAM of a donation center! They give you this schpill of how your donations will save child burn victims, and the truth of the matter is it is NOT a "non-for-profit" agency, in fact, it's ALL ABOUT THE PROFITS!! The employees are pushed like someone in a sweat shop, and are told after a certain amount is sold, that they will then earn bonuses. Truth of the matter is, those 'bonuses' are only paid when the donation promised comes in. The employees are never told when this happens, and a lot of the time, they are fired for trivial reasons which makes that bonus that much MORE unattainable!
They keep a big chart on the wall for the callers to see but what is also up there, are how much is attained and how much goes to the burn victims. It MAY be 10% of the profits!!
I'd venture to believe that even the fire department isn't aware of this!
And when the person (that called me) called me by name when I answered, I asked him.."How did you get my number?"
He said, "Well, we have a list to call".
I said "yes, but before I knew what you are REALLY were about, I DID contribute, but I've changed my number since then and
I'm on the "Do Not Call Registry".
To which HE said, "Yes, be we work for the police and fire departments so we can get any number we want."
REALLY??????!!!!!!!!!!
I'm putting them on BLAST!! If you want to donate to child burn victims go to your local children's hospital and do it locally.
That way you KNOW that ALL of your money actually DOES go to help them!
