It's frustrating to be proven otherwise on something I've always had faith in.
I had been proud of all of us, but now, I'm ashamed.
'Cos I'm quite sure that 20 cents don't mean a thing to you people, but no, you guys just aren't kind enough to give them to people who genuinely need them, badly.
If you aren't willing to donate, fine by me, just let me know and I won't bug you. It's not an obligation to begin with and I'm quite sure I'm not that unreasonable.
I was willing to let it all go. I know some people have their reasons, others? Well, they just can't be bothered. You guys don't want to help? Fine.
But was it neccessary to bring down our morale?
Everyone knows the feeling of rejection is never nice. Yet we had to embrace it with a smile when deep down inside we were crushed.
Just say that you aren't keen to help, I'll understand. There was absolutely no need to roll your eyes at me or spit somewhere close to where I was standing. They do nothing but reflect what kind of person you are and what fine attitude and manners you have.
I felt so insignificant, so dejected that I no longer wanted to
help.
What makes you guys think that you people have the right to despise those who had been standing under the sun for hours asking for donations? Who are you to judge us through tinted glasses?
I understand that all the corruption incidents have robbed
Charity off the faith that you guys once had for it. I know how it feels to have one's trust betrayed.
But what will it take for you guys to regain faith? There are still people out there who need your help. Black sheep don't represent all the volunteers there are and the majority of them really want to help. They want to make a difference to those who need them, no matter how small.
I'm eternally grateful to those who lent a helping hand. Those who were willing to share what they had with those who are much less fortunate. You guys did the right thing, and I'm glad that you all aren't extinct. I was starting to worry.
And I've done what I could. It might not be what I've volunteered to do, but I did my best and I know it.
20 cents might mean nothing to you but it means a whole lot to others.
Reflect, people. It's sad.
Cheers!
