What will/would/have you done for the Haiti Relief?

In one question I must while I was just trying to be being honest, really rattled my bones, yes rattled my bones.

After the whole “I kinda don’t care thing” from another question.I did start to think a bit.

And well funny thing today at work,they had started (yesterday actually but I was off) a donation for just a dollar for ARC (American Red Cross) for Haiti Relief so I was like hell yeah I will get people to donate a dollar….I got 5 dollars out of say 25–30 people I was able to ask or tried to pitch to? give or take….I worked a small shift that day I would have gotten more people otherwise and the airport is strange you’d think it would be crowed in the shops but they really aren’t. Even when the airport is….

Anyways I was rather disappointed, I had a fair share of straight nos, and sorry. Some people not sure if they were BSing or not and some told me they had there firm give water or the like.

But one person made me pretty mad I go to him and theres a motorcycle display and you can sit on it, jokingly I go yea sure you can sit if you donate a dollar he goes sure whats it for?

I said for the in a prompt and trying to professional way to all people I spoke to “Haiti relief foundation through American Red Cross.” and he says “I won’t give my dollar to those people, they knew it was coming they live there.” about something along those lines. Oh man I was like wow….I wanted to tell him get you ass of the bike but I can’t get fired ya know hah…..

Anyways ( I got called in 4 hour shift psf..someone called out) otherwise I felt I could have made more, I got a total of 10 bucks 5 dollars from 5 people and I gave 5 dollars at the end of my shift.

I like you fluther people get my bones rattled….in a good way :)

So I will try and do it more now when I work, we even give them a receipt lol :D

What about you guys here at fluther plan on doing anything maybe donate a dollar,food, organization etc….?

Have you similar experiences when trying to help people, more rejection then assistance when really you might assume people would help or take action?
