Feif un- thats real chutzpah!
I once was making “tzedaka calls” to, and i tried to be careful not to be too pushy. A much as the organization needs money its not mantschlich to be pushy. Its hard for people to admit that they dont have the money especially if they were previous donors.
Just a little off topic, but the ppl that answer the phone have to be mentschlich too. I’ve got some nasty ones even though only called them once, or they would refer me to their husband phone who would then tell me to call at a specific time, then no answer… It was just not worth it to pursue!
