[QUOTE="J Willhaus, post: 1216286, member: 41003"] The systems differ in each donativo. Some where we volunteer require that we handle the money and account for it daily. Others have a system where someone from the community comes and collects the money and others still have a kind of shared responsibility between community rep and volunteer. At some places we had to take donations to the bank ourselves and at others, a community representative did that. At some donativos we had to collect and log every reciept for things purchased (groceries, cleaning supplies, etc). At others we were told that if something was needed we should just get it and don't worry about writing things down. Interestingly at places were we didn't track expenses, we actually got more donations on average. These are very long standing donativos in good repair. People liked to stay there due to the ambiance and welcoming spirit so I am sure that contributes. We never watch how much is put in the box and if we have to count the money ourselves we don't speculate on how much any one person gives. We simply trust that it will all work out. We pray daily for the health and safety of our pilgrims and in places where we cook, I make sure they have tasty and nutritious food to sustain them. It doesn't have to be expensive as long as it tastes good. There is always enough and if it looks like it will be a stretch, Phil and I just take a bit less. Only you have to be happy with your donation. You don't have to tell others what you gave or what they should give. Let your pocketbook and your heart be your guide. If you have little to give or you have a lot to give you will be treated equally with same love and respect. Don't worry about the other person and how much or little they gave. Just worry about you.
