Patrick’s Place Saturday Six - Episode 237

1. When was the last time you donated money to a charity, and which cause was it?
Does going to those immensely over priced dinners count? I am going to a $100 a plate diner on November 8th for the “Hartford Gay and Lesbian Health Collective”

2. Think of the last time you were specifically asked for a handout from someone who approached you on the street: did you give him or her anything?
No.

3. What led to that decision?
I don’t think that is the best way to give money. I rather give to a cause then to an individual.

4. Take the quiz: How Good Are You?

You Are 88% Good

You are not only a good person... you are a model citizen and a natural leader. Whether you know it or not, your high moral standards and good judgment is truly rare. You don't take ethical short cuts in life. You are able to do what's right - even when it's very difficult. And while it may seem like no one else is as on track as you are, take heart in knowing that you set a good example for others. You are also probably: Very sensitive and in tune with the world Right now you are on track to being: A saint To be a better person: Gently mentor someone who is taking the wrong path in life

How Good Are You?

5. Which kind of charity/organization of the following list are you least likely to donate money to: a church, a people-oriented charity, a children-oriented charity, an animal-oriented charity, a college, or a food bank?
Now a day, a people-oriented charity. When I worked, I did both a people-oriented charity and food banks.

6. If you could permanently block a single, specific charity from ever contacting you again, which would you block and why?
It would be the medical charities, because I give generously to non-profits with-in the LGBT community. The trans-community has the highest unemployment of any group (it is over 60% either unemployed or underemployed), I have friends with PhD’s who cannot find a job. They went from six figured salaries to welfare and it is not as if they are not looking for work, it is because of discrimination.
