So that means we shouldn't be thankful? So what if they send the same letters out. It's doesn't change the fact that the donations are making people's lives better!
Zuctly, I also think that if you gave someone like that an iPad then it really wouldn't be much good.
I say this because I have family in abject poverty abroad. They get water from a well, have little to no electricity (can't afford the bills so they "borrow" it). They'd have no use in any of my old electronics.
I am thankful of the world we live in. It's messy and cluttered but once you find a little peace it's all quite lovely.
