On Monday night around 8:45pm I heard a quiet knock at my door. When I answered I was very surprised to see a middle aged woman from the Kidney Foundation asking for donations. I respect the need to fundraise for worthy charities however women walking the streets alone in the dark knocking on doors doesn't seem like the right way to do it.
She must have sensed my disappointment and upset because she said she was just doing her job when I politely said that I was not interested in donating.
I am sorry for making her feel as though she needed to defend her actions, however knocking on doors that late in the evening to ask for money is not only dangerous but its unsettling for the person hearing the knock.
Kidney Foundation - You've been spotted for putting the safety of your volunteers/ employees at risk!
