I always feel bad when they come to my house. But i’m afraid to open the door when my husband isnt home. When he is, he answers. I actually am trying to get over the fear of opening for collectors so i did open the door the last time.
In the street, usually i dont give. sometimes i do. unfortunately so many people collect in the streets and although i do wish i could help everyone, i cant. Financially i am not that well off and because of that combined with the frauds that i’ve found out about afterwards (see oomis1105 post above), i just cant afford to give. I respond to mailings but (pardon the pun) cant afford the handouts.
