Review for ChildFund International, Richmond, VA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I feel ripped off by this charity. I have no idea where my money goes. I have to call and check up on my extra donations. Only after I call, then magically I get a letter from my sponsered child stating they received it. I have never received a picture showing them with the gift (as I was promised by the CCF). I have no idea if my child actually receives anything or even exists at all!! I have sponsered 2 children and the letters are all written in the same exact handwritting. How can that be? I would stop giving to this charity, but I worry that if my boy actually exists, I would be hurting him. I am sure that CCF uses that guilt for their benefit. Also, they went from 2.50 per gift to 20%!!?? Am I helping a needy child or lining the pockets of a rich CEO?? Very Fishy. Very Fishy.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

sponsorship

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

let the child actually write a letter. let the sponsers know EXACTLY where their money goes. decrease the gift charge. change the way CCF does business.

Role:  Donor & donor.
