On Friday I had a phone call wanting someone that
doesn’t live here. After saying they had got the wrong number, the
caller started to tell me about a homeless shelter for abused women here
in Hamilton called Interval House.
The caller explained that
women could stay there 27 days and that they were mostly full to
capacity. He went on to say that he works for a fund rising company and
they wanted to know if I would be willing to donate to this organization.
I asked hem a few questions that he could not
answer except for one. I asked him what happens to all the people that
they turn away because they are full. His answer was they refer them to
other shelters.
My two questions are.
a) What percent of my donated dollar goes to the charity?
b) Why would I donate to an organization that wants money to simply refer people to another shelter?
