An attorney was asked to make a contribution to a worthwhile charity His response was I guess you hadn`t heard my mother is suffering from a terminal illness and she has medical bills which far exceed her income My brother is a disabled combat veteran He is not only blind but is in a wheelchair and he has to take ten different medicines a day My sister is the only parent of three children since her husband died without life insurance She has no college and scrubs floors for a living My wife is in a mental ward and may never get out My only child was in a drug rehabilitation program but he left and no one can find him Before he could get his breath and continue on the fundraiser thought it wisest to end this and let the poor man alone You are correct sir I had no idea of your problems Of course we can`t expect you to make a contribution with so many demands already on your income The attorney nods and replies Exactly why should I contribute to your organization when I don`t even give a single penny to my own family?
