For a few years now I have been called by this charity. I have donated twice and the last time I got an invoice/receipt that stated in fine print that it was not a registered charity so there'd be no tax receipt or something like that. I was called in December and told that now they'd only be calling every two years...would I like to increase my donation to, presumably, cover the two years? They suggested an amount that was about 4 times more than I was willing to donate (can't remember the exact amount). I said I couldn't afford what they suggested. The woman hesitated but said whatever I could donate would be fine. I got the invoice/donation sheet in the mail that had the amount of $175 or something like that in the "please pay" box. I was so annoyed I didn't send any donation. I've been receiving calls every single day for weeks that never leave a message. I would like to know whether this is a legitimate charity.

How do I get them to stop calling?

Call blocked them (feature on Panasonic cordless).Said they had an important message for ***.

They are now calling for pledges to child find / identification be aware

Reading the previous messages, I now realized that I have been a ''fool'' (for 3 years)  believing the caller wanted money for CHILDREN'S BOOKS. I had been asking for receipts to no avail !!!! My husband took the call today asking who was calling and could he take a message. Their comment: '' Will call another time " Fortunately I have a call display and decided to check the number to find these comments.  Waiting  for the next caller.  Thank You.
