Agreed. Sadly, most "charities" are businesses with CEO's getting paid millions. They are typical pyramid structures with the managers at the top getting extremely wealthy off donations. It disgusts me. I want to give charity voluntarily, and I want my money to not be siphoned off by multiple worthless layers between me and the person in need.
Steemit is making that possible! I want to help my friends and family most though, for that makes it easier to not be scammed by strangers. Charity should be voluntary, and the closer it is given the better. People should support their neighbors!
