Thanks for pointing out that I have been doing a lot of good already! I feel like I should go back and tally up my donations to see how much I’ve done. That’ll probably help me feel like I’ve done something.
I’m seriously considering the pledge. I think the donations I made throughout the years felt inconsequential. Perhaps it’s the amount I donated each time, and/or that I never tracked if I ended up saving a life or not.
Good idea to follow the charities. I wish GiveWell or those other charities did something similar to GiveDirectly where they actual record photo/video of the people you’re directly donating to. I’ve made the choice to still donate to GiveWell just because of the cost-effectiveness to save a life.
