[quote=Anonymous]What I dislike about telling people to bring donations for XYZ organization or purpose is it feels very White Man's Burden. Like we are all too self-absorbed and ignorant to figure out how to donate to needy organizations on our own, we need Shaylene's birthday party invitation to remind us that there are people far worse off than we who need our help, and Shaylene's mother is the one to pull the wool from our eyes. It's like this one mother at school who sent everyone at email asking us all to "prayerfully consider' donating to Toy for Tots because we need to teach our children to spread wealth and love especially to those who need it at the holidays. Um, yeah. I know. I do plenty of that in my own home and I don't need you to tell me how to do it like it never occurred to me. [/quote]
