Sorry to offend ya ;p You did not have to answer.. I have given to the homeless numerous times but I am not sure how much. Probably less than a hundred dollars.

$100 to purchase a goat for charity for Christmas.
$22 a month to Children International.
($50 also went to the animal shelter at home, in one of the poorest counties in New York State.)
... thus far, then, $166 or $66 depending on whether the Christmas gift counts. I am a law student who makes $140 a week from my part-time job (scholarship covers my rent, but no other living expenses.) The Indiana minimum wage is not exactly favorable, and after two and a half years at my job I'm only making (approximately) $7/hr.
I could stand to give far more, considering that I have cable TV and wireless internet.

Directly? A few pounds to sellers of the Big Issue magazine.
Each month by regular payments to various charities, humanitarian and to help projects abroad .
But I think we can always help further. Why not buy some 'fairly traded' coffee, chocolate or orange juice? Yes, it costs a few pennies more, but that goes a long way in somewhere like Guatemala or Thailand.
As for how much, I don't know. 2% of income? Not much.

We have several charity organizations and every month i buy some groceries and they send someone to collect it but you can never give enough as long as you help some people that's good

I am the poor. I donated 100% of my money to myself.
100%. I'm a humanitarian.

It is only March, so it is still in the 3-figure area.

I don't keep track, and I don't like to toot my own horn. God knows how much I've donated, and that's enough for me.

If you donate you don't have to say it aloud. God knows...may His Love fill our hearts!
Have a blessed day all of you!

Not offended, sweetie, I simply think your question is rude.
I don't have a lot of time for people who try to boast about their charitable acts.
Three down-thumbs? Oh, my heart is breaking.
