Over the past week I have received letters from - CANTEEN,

FOOD BANK, STARLIGHT and CARE FLIGHT. Each one had 

gifts such as a lovely shopping bag, another birthday cards,  

one had stickers with my name on them, and then asking 

for donations. I didn't need these gifts, and I'm sure it would

have cost them to send them out. I felt obliged to donate a

small sum, although they suggested starting prices from 

$28. upwards.  It seems to be escalating and even the 

phone calls from different Charities- is increasing. Does 

any one else have the same problems?
