One of the things that bothers me a lot is how many solicitations I receive from different organizations to donate money to their cause. Sometimes I get suspicious about the organization and ask for information about the organization. One of the reasons for that is I often get phone calls from organizations that say they support the local police department, but when I contact the local police about the solicitation they deny any knowledge of the organization. That puts a bit of a sour taste in my mouth when it comes to responding to requests for donations.
So when I was asked to donate money to the Orchid Recovery Center Charities, I was suspicious. I had never heard of The Orchid Recovery Charities. So I spent a little bit of time online to check out the Orchid Recovery Center and see what they are about. I found that the Center is a rehab center for women, located in Florida. So far the only charity I found that is involved with them is a charity named Kiva. Kiva lends money to poverty stricken entrepreneurs, to help them pull themselves out of poverty. That sounds like a good cause, don’t you think?
