Id rather donate to the red cross, and I do, regularly. At least I know for sure my money is going to where it says it is.
Actually, you don't know that your money is going to where it says.  http://www.damninteresting.com/retired/can-we-trust-the-red-cross/
With me, I'm up-front going to tell you that this project will go through once I get the donations -- the same thing the Red Cross will tell you.  Only, with me, I know that you're skeptical and I openly admit that there is little I can do besides showing pictures of myself with each person that I've helped AFTER it's done.  In other words, there's nothing I can do at present to prove to you that I will use it for the project which I have laid out.  I'm hoping that my honesty about this will be some form of collateral.  If I wanted to go about it with a 100% success rate of gaining donations, I would sell my soul posting propaganda that misleads people into thinking that it's actively going on/already started and that I need donations to keep it going.  I could show images of me supposedly feeding the hungry, shaking hands with the elderly, and using social psychology to make you think that I'm just like the Red Cross.  When, in reality, I would like to think that I'm doing more with the donations I get by utilizing them 100% on the project instead of maybe 11 - 25%.  Soon, I'll be receiving an actual shed from my neighbor who's getting a larger one.  I hope to paint it once I come up with a logo.  ^__^
And bbit, don't be an ass by bringing people down.  K?
