I want to remind everyone that solicitation of any kind on this Discussion Board is strictly prohibited. This includes asking for any type of donation whether it be monetary or otherwise. This also includes responding to a post with a donation; whether it has been solicited or not.
Many of our members are going through rough times financially. While our members have big hearts and just want to help, I'd like to ask you to NOT send money or other types of donations to other members, even if they don't outright ask for anything. Consider your advice your donation. This is done for your protection, for several reasons. First, we don't want to open up a Pandora's box that would allow any and all members to either feel like they could ask for handouts, or other members feel pressure to give.
Secondly, unfortunately in today's day and age, people aren't always who they represent themselves to be on the internet. While I have confidence that the vast majority of Mommysavers Members are exactly who they claim to be, you never know. This rule is in place for your protection.
Thanks!

So please don't be fooled. The recommendation from 60 mins was to only give to authorised charities because if these people were really in trouble in these countries then these charities would be helping them anyway.
