Agreed. I scrolled through a number of the donor years, to find your moniker -- GBA -- not represented. How might one know you donate?

I choose to be anonymous with my charitable giving to any and all charities, family and friends.

Fwiw? Matthew 6:2

When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do–blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get.

Philippians 2:3-4

In whatever you do, don’t let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble, and honor others more than yourselves. Don’t be interested only in your own life, but care about the lives of others too.

I think I suck at being a human, but I am trying, especially so about keeping my ego in check.
