Is anyone else getting bombarded by these Hope church people trying to turn 20 dollars into a hospital in haiti.....While I am all for helping less fortunate people in other nations - Let ME decide how I will help them.

 

I don't give to people/organizations that I do not trust.

this whole church scares me - i have seen some of friends of ours go over to that church and we haven't heard from them again.......or want to hear from them.

It seems like a pyramid scam - IMO

Why Haiti, there is so much need in Texas and other states, Hungry, Homeless, I would say focus on our needs at home and then reach the world. Because we can do it, we just got to do it right.

that is agree with as well - how can help others right now when we need help at home?

I agree Cary...to many in Texas and still in New Orleans that need the help...

BUT I have never heard of this Church...

Haiti nothing but a slimepit of human debris and corruption that will never change short of bombing it off the face of the planet and starting over. Anyone who sends a penny down there is a fool.

is there anyone on here that attends Hope church?

I know that feisty does/did, but i haven't seen her on in a while

I have received other scams, but not this one. My reply to them, "Sorry, but my charity begins @ home"

I attend Hope. It is a wonderful place and those who haven't been have NO right to judge. It is a non-denominational church in Cary. The donations are part of the MINA project going on right now. The church did this last year and had a great response so they are doing it again. They take their budget for charities. They give it out in envelopes to the members. This year, $50,000. People are doing their part to make the $$ they recieved turn into something bigger. We are hoping to raise $400,000. Yes, some of this money is going to Haiti. But the other half is going to charities in/around Raleigh and NC. The Salvation Army, Raleigh Rescue Mission, Wake Interfaith, M25 Foundation, House of Hope, Healing Place of Wake and several others will also get this $$. www.gethope.net Charity begins at home is the attitude that so many have now adays that has made our society such a selfish one. Do your homework before insulting this place, Please.

never insulted the church Kit - please read my posts.

I was saying the people - it's a bit amwayish to me.

I HOPE they don't call me.
