"Little Miss Fortune reader mamaworker mentioned yesterday that she&amp;amp;#8217;s had to cut back on her charity donations in this crap economy. Have you?It&amp;amp;#8217;s hard to be an angel when you&amp;amp;#8217;re feeling strapped. This may seem kind of silly, but I&amp;amp;#8217;ve always donated to the groups that send me free address labels. (Which kind of makes me feel like a sucker.) But, I mean, how do I not give to the Disabled American Veterans? They&amp;amp;#8217;re disabled. And they&amp;amp;#8217;re veterans. Of course I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to send them the minimum donation. And then I get the free address labels from St. Jude&amp;amp;#8217;s Children&amp;amp;#8217;s Research Hospital. Of course I&amp;amp;#8217;m sending them $5, too. And the Sesame Street Workshop? How do you say no to Oscar the Grouch? But, you know, $5 to this group, $5 to that. And never mind that Rory&amp;amp;#8217;s also a softy and we &amp;amp;#8220;adopted&amp;amp;#8221; a Save the Children kid from Bangladesh. At the end of the month, I&amp;amp;#8217;m sending various charities a bunch of money that I don&amp;amp;#8217;t really have. Are you guys in the same predicament? Are you still giving to the charities or have you had to cut back? Anyone volunteering more to make up for the lack of cash they have to donate?
