Repeated calls from lady speaking very very poor English. Could not understand her.

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.

For several years I've given $ to this charity that uses the donations to purchase books for sick/injured...(hospitalized??) children; but I'm not so sure it's as 'legit' as I'd like to think. A word of warning to those of you who don't want to commit to their 'cause' for the long term; they'll call you every year for as long as you use the phone number at which they reach you. I hope that I'm wrong, and that kids DO benefit from this becauseI've been giving ~ $45 per year for close to ten years.

A vancouver bc based telemarketer looking for money for children's books. ?  Supposedly a charity.

I keep getting these unwanted calls from various different numbers.  I work Midnight's so I am often woken up by annoying calls during the day.
