<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 2613735, member: 8289"]I am not belittling anyones work for the efforts to help those in need. I completely respect Terence’s an others that donate their time and expertise that they give to those less fortunate and lift them up in their times of need. PLEASE, let me repeat, “FULL RESPECT”. But with heavy heart I have very little in me for corporations that connive over time to profit in the name of charity. sadly in my life I know but a handful of organizations that remain uncorrupt by greed. If someone has a really good idea, someone else will find a way to most certainly steal it.</p><p><br /></p><p>We rarely know few truths, but we all know what we’re told to be truths.
