Hmm, just wanted to find out how kind PPTers were 
I'm talking real-life ones anyway, not Neo ones.
Personally, I've donated at least $50 Singapore dollars (around $30 US) to the tsunami disaster. I was shocked, apalled that something so devastating could hit so close to home. Just missed Singapore by a few thousand miles. Don't go thinking that that is alot... remember the tsumani reached as far as South Africa.
Here In Singapore, there is a practice of 'flag days' where people (often students) go around, soliciting donations from the public. I can tell you that that is tiring heh.

Muahahaha, I did the same thing as you do, same amount, donated to the same place.
I seldom donate but I do some charity work. I have got no money so I use my hands instead.

Well, I haven't, but my sister gives to the Feed the Children program and my parents donated $5000 US dollars to the Tsunami fund.

I donated some clothes for some charity here since I couldn't fit in them any more.
And I donated can food over to the tsunami thing that my school had which we had to organise packs of necessities and then send them over to the affected places.

The charities went crazy after the tsunami diaster struck. So I (and my mom) brought a box a foot by half a foot to donate.
Then got approached loads of times... each time I donate
Don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but I dropped loose change in it.
When the first day of my college education started (I'm studying Info-Comms Tech. Don't have to study math anymore, woohoo!) I donated about $2. Together with the loose change, plus the clothes should total about that amount.
But you know, some 'charities' jumped up and down during the period for the sole purpose of collecting money for persornal gain. Sheesh, guess even when thousands die all they think of is money money money. (Even on NP it's money money money lol)

I donate to the local Humane Society regularly, because to me that is the most important cause that I can donate to. Instead of using my birthday money and my pay at the end of March to save up for an iPod, I'm donating it to the Humane Society. ^^

I'm too poor to donate x___x
Although my mom always gives the clothes we never wear to charity...
And when I think about it, I have donated a bit of money for to Tzada at hebrew school.

I have never donated money in my life, and probably never will. I use my money for my own needs. That may sound awfully heartless, but it just is that way for me.

I did the texting thing for the tsunami disaster a few time, donated my old toys...err, and dropped some loose change in various charity bucket-type things.

Donated £50 to the Tsuami. Raised £400 for Breast Cancer Awareness. My school had a Christmas box appeal going on, where we had to donate clothes and toys and coloured pens etc and wrap them up and they were sent to kids in Africa to remind us all that they are still kids and need gifts too.

Not really. I guess I was just not touched by it, but sure, I am sad for those who lost so much, not to even mention the tourist children who flew home alone. Still, it happens. Next time it might happen to me and I'd still have understanding for the people who do not donate, you just can't expect everyone to care that much.

I donated $5 to the Tsunami fund, not much, but hey, my pocket money's extremely limited.

Yeah, when I go uptown for lunch and have loose change I'll donate it to something or another.
And I always buy the hearts.

Yep.
Our family donated some money to the tsunami fund (regardless of how many times I ask, they wouldn't tell me the exact amount), and we usually donate spare change to those Salvation Army people who stand outside stores ringing bells.

I donated 20 cents to the tsunami relief fund to get the people running the drive to stop glaring at me. They were walking around with their huge coffee cans at lunch, and all my other friends put in money, so...
Yeah, I'm generally not very charitable. If it had been for 'feed the homeless' or something, I wouldn't have donated at all. Providing for the homeless doesn't give them an incentive to get homes.*
*This is subject to change depending on the circumstances under which said people became homeless. Housefire, natural disaster, etc., Okay, fine. But lazy people don't deserve my money.
