I’m assuming you donated to the organization? If you did, you still did the right thing by offering to help others. The old woman put her last two coppers in the pot not knowing where they were going, either to help those with nothing or to line the pockets of those in charge.

Our 5 year old grandson last year went home from Christian preschool and told his mother that he had to have some money to take to school. She asked him why and the most he could say was “the woman needs it.” He was adamant and unable to explain why. She gave him some coins for the next day and asked the administrator why he was set on taking money to school and she told her that they had been told the story about the lady and her last mite. She told our grandson she’d put it in the collection plate.
