Julia asked... "So, are you more likely to donate to a cause if you have been through such a situation yourself? Why does it always seem that though you may help others while they are in need, when the time comes for you to get help, no one will give it to you? Are you more likely to be more "charitable" after such a thing happens?"
I personally feel that the most donations/volunteering come from a person who is closely attached to a certain charity; as Julia said, someone who had someone in their life (or even themselves) who was affected by cancer, they would be more inclined to donate to a cancer charity.
Reading her post made me think of some lyrics... "all gave some, but some gave all", and it made me think how the people who are better off usually give nothing, while the people who don't exactly have a lot generally are the ones who give the most.
But I really do believe that someone is more opt to give after a horrible thing happens to them-- such as being in a case of need and having no one there to help you. Once you are in that situation and experience things that so many people do, you feel more obligated to help them to get out of that state- complete sympathy!!
