There are always people suffering somewhere in the world. If I had enough money to stop all the suffering I would. But, it's not possible.
Should I not eat because there are others in this world that are starving?
Should I not heat my house because there are others in this world that are cold?
Should I not wear clothes because there are others in this world that are naked?
Should I not walk or run or play because others in this world are sick, or crippled or dying?
Yes, I do consider my self more fortunate than others. But, if you feel guilty about that then that guilt will eat you alive.
Then again only you can make a decision like this. I feel just by you asking the question perhaps making your donation and waiting a few months to get your reader will be the best decision for you.
