That means I'm in advertising mode here. And trust me, I hate this worse than you do. Not so much that we are stunned into doing nothing, but enough that it is sobering. We are very careful about how we spend the money. It isn't just that we are spending your, the donor's money, it is that once we get it, we see it as the kids' money.
Volunteers pay their own way, entirely.
No, MCC doesn't waste any money that people give us. And we have been pretty lucky about funding, not because we are some kind of funding whiz kids, but because people want to help us help these kids. People have been incredibly generous. But now we know our help has to go beyond just food and education. Those things will be taken care of first, but they are NOT enough.
