COMMON MISTAKES

It isn’t sufficient to say that you already contribute to charity on a regular basis. If  you’re not willing to go out of your way, beyond what you ordinarily do, to “pay” specifically for my time, then that says psychologically that you really don’t want my help very much.

Nor is it sufficient to say, for example, that you’re a police officer or a teacher and that you constantly serve others. You’re getting paid to do that work, right? And, through taxes, the people you serve are paying for the help they receive. So if you want my help, over and above what’s offered here for free, it’s fitting that you “pay” for it.

Nor is it sufficient to say you’re a student or unemployed and don’t have any money. If  you can afford to pay for movies or cell phones or cigarettes or beer or pizza or cafe latte or cappuccino or whatever, you can afford some sort of a charitable donation. And you can always donate your labor through volunteer service in your own community.
