Any organization that refers to women as “pregnant people” should not receive donations, ever. Then again, most international aid organizations are wasteful, useless and corrupt so it’s very fitting.... See more

Quite satisfactory.

Unfortunately a lot has happened with me since I sent the donation and I don't r remember the experience of donating so well but I think it was quite satisfactory.

Oxfam does important work!

Oxfam does important work to fight global poverty, and has been doing so since 1942. It recognizes the right to live in dignity and helps communities become more self-sufficient by forming credit groups. It has many groups in America and throughout Europe.

What an amazing organization!

I am well aware of Oxfam and the amazing services you provide. Vulnerable people, the world over, are desperate for help and assistance during these very trying times. I believe Oxfam has provided and continue to provide badly needed support for the voiceless across the globe. I am happy to support and wish I could do a lot more.

Blessings and peace to all humanity and especially the ones that are hit hardest.

Regards,

Oxfam's charity work is helping to make our planet a better home.

Oxfam is doing incredible charity work. The recent locust plagues in Africa have been incredibly severe and they have worsened hunger crises in marginalized communities, and way to little is being done by those in power to turn our ridiculous political situation where our president invariably blocks foreign aid, into something even remotely acceptable. I can not imagine being food insecure/having such limited food available that you wouldn't be able to eat enough, and then have that stripped down to nothing by these invasive creatures of climate. And yet this is what 1/7 of us go through on a planet with more than enough to feed them. If the wealth of all billionaires in the world now were to go to these people, each of them would get $87,000. And this is just billionaires. We don't remotely have to achieve an ideal global wealth distribution to find one where people can have their basic needs met and don't have to suffer needlessly. Charities like Oxfam also help to pressure people in power into changing patterns of "business as usual" AKA damaging the planet and the climate and causing suffering for money, and throwing tiny bones to us when pressured to change.

ERRORS (mine)

Dear Reviewers,

Thank you for your comments. You are fair to dislike my previous version.

(I will take some brief breaks, to attend to my dying cat.)

My comments are/were 1) intended to avoid extra work and misunderstanding on the part of the reader, and 2) to explain that the two, referenced writers were not collaborators.

Some of the errors of name and address, comments, and reviews, come from a variety of input and were sent in by mistake. Perhaps you have heard from Ms. Pritchard, and now have correct address information for both of us. I tried to convey this information, but it was not accepted (by the interface). I continue to get erroneous messages.

CORRECT:
My name: Mary Hadcock.
Address: Addr.... MA 01730

The person who owns the 'other' name and address is, truly, my relative, who does not live near Massachusetts.

I will try not to cause more bother, but I have already received
another change memo, in which my name is wrongly transformed.

Thank you for the extraordinary work you do to help others.

I wish you could pick an exact project…

I wish you could pick an exact project or region your donation would go to. Would have been larger and more frequent donation.
