I do want to believe that charities like this do start out with the best intentions , and then they get big , and then big money does what it always does , it attracts big crooks , and the padding of the pockets becomes paramount with the charity being the one that gets hurt .
And yes , there is one thing certain about the form of "grass roots" charity you mention , the certainty that 100% of the money does exactly what it's intended to do , help the needy rather than help some CEOs book their next island vacation ....
