That was a seriously bad judgment to make, the pan with a up plan. I understand that you might feel that OP is that way but you should not go around accusing people of being horrible things. I have accused and been accused and neither is good. This person is trying to help others so keep your hate to yourself.

Sorry, Ben- apparently I have an unrealized hatred for transexuals according to the psychoanalyst "pan-fried" below. I would like to send the money to your cause but it will have to wait for when I get my tax refund. That is, assuming dipshit below doesn't make me cry and wet the bed again with her rapier wit. LOL

    Your local animal shelter would likely benefit from it a lot

    This! They need so many resources and help so many lovely animals that lost their families.

    Sorry, but your suggestion is illogical and unreasonable. I did follow #3's (Ozacoter) suggestion below though since they aren't an asswipe. I want to help pups and kitties that need help. I just don't want to do it on this line because it's you and I am petty like that.

    Local animal shelter. They are great and always need cash.

    Done! Sent $500 to Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute. I hope you don't mind that I said I was a "Friend of Patient." Best of luck with your procedure. PLEASE let me know when you're recovered.

    Does it attend people with no money or just if you have insurance?

    every charity possible! even if all of them only got $10 each, it would still make a difference

    1) Charities that support LGBTQIAP+ youths (such as the Trevor Project or GLSEN) 2) Charities that support people who've experienced domestic violence (preferably those that support both men and women, since both genders can experience domestic violence) 3) Charities providing kids with an opportunity to take music lessons (since those can be expensive and there's a lot of kids who have a lot of talent out there) Take your pick! (I'd donate myself if I wasn't so broke :/ )

    Wolfstar, have you ever considered donating time instead of money? I am sure that there is a need of an extra hand (to do stuff you don't need to be qualified for) in all of the charities mentioned above. I understand that there is a pandemic and current lockdown on now but charities will still be in need of help after covid. And thank you so much for acknowledging that both genders are abused, not just women.

    Wounded Warriors. I'm not one to endorse war but if it wasn't for the men and women who do fight our wars, we wouldn't have the life we have now. They do keep us safe and it's a disgrace how we treat our veterans.

    I already support Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing through volunteering and donations so I'd like to put it towards another area that needs help. Thank you for thinking of us though!

    Wounded Warriors have filed lawsuits against other non profit charities for using any likeness of their image slogan of a soldier carrying another. They spend donations on building the brand, and forcing other similar charities to shut down.

    1) It's my money and I'll do with it whatever the f**k I want. 2) I give plenty "blindly" to charities. I want to give to one with a more personal connection even if through a stranger. And, 3... Let me know if you can find a charity that will help you not come across as such an asshole and I may consider that one as well.

    David, I'm gonna be frank with you: This post sounds a lot like a flex on how you have plenty of money and how you're so generous and you're looking for the best charity to donate to. Also, from my past experiences, you're just a twerp on the internet who ticks people off for fun. You're also a conclusion-jumping racist who calls little girls racist and tells then to F off. So maybe stop being such an internet troll and chill out for once.
