Donation Pours In

I am sincerely thankful to all my friends and colleagues who have donated through me to the Children Cancer Foundation. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will definitely benefit the kid- patients.

Within the first day, I managed to raise more than a quarter of a thousand dollars. I hope to double or triple the amount by the end of the campaign. Friends and colleagues whom i have approached donated very willingly. But there are still a handful who would ask me many questions but in the end, i receive nothing from them.

And why is my blog so quiet? No donation from my blog readers? haha.. well, its totally up to individual. No forcing, no obligation.

I used to feel very paiseh taking a donation card asking around for donations. I feel very bad to make ppl fork out their money, esp when i witness how careful some of my frens keep watch of their expenses, like choosing the cheapest food, save on bus fares and all sort of money -saving ideas etc. Hence, i was often reluctant to ask ppl to donate, cos i really feel very paiseh.

But after understanding the law of karma, and how merits work, i feel that i shld go around more asking ppl to donate. When they donate, its not only doing the beneficiaries good, but also themselves (the donors) good. So its a double edged sword!
