I had to use the service of one to get a plane ticket home when I was younger for a red cross notification. They gave me the money for a ticket without having to pay it back. So over the next year I had an allotment taken out totalling to what they paid for the ticket and then cut it off once fulfilled. That's the only donation I have ever given.
Most charities are scams. Don't donate to charities if you don't know 100% where the money is going and how it is being used.
