SAVE AND READ* (S & R*) NEWS*:Robbery from charity-Christmas toys taken*
SAVE AND READ* (S & R*) NEWS ALERT* (December 5, 2012 – Montreal, Quebec, Canada) – Robbery from charity – Many donated toys stolen – Employee(s) arrested – only partial recovery so far
According to the media, I understand that a charitable organization well known for its good works has been the victim of a robbery. The theft was by two men who allegedly have stolen over a period of two years 100,000 toy items the value of which is estimated to be $2,000,000.
ANTOINETTE”S COMMENTARY*
It is incomprehensible to me that someone would take away from the poor. This makes the robbery even worse in my book. There are many kids at Christmas that may not receive a gift or a good meal. This is a very sad story.
I have questioned how much of our donations to charities/foundations actually go to the less fortunate. This alleged robbery suggests that sometimes due to bad apples, our good money gets diverted.
As a child, I remember my Mom and Aunt buying food, toys and gifts and making Christmas baskets for those in need at this holiday time. They also made regular contributions to charities. It gives me joy to give items to a charity. Sharing one’s good fortune is a sign of generosity. The good that one puts out, will surely come back to you if and when you are in need.
I needed to get this off my chest. Do you agree? I would love to receive an e-mail from you at alaposta@saveandread.com
