That's because they are a small, local company that serves my local
community. They don't take donations via mail, so you'll have to find
your own. Sorry.

Not only did I not claim otherwise, but you're wrong in that the idea
that such organizations exist might just clue someone in to the
possibility that they can find one that is local to them. But by all
means, do cry harder. Your salty tears are somewhat nourishing, if not
entertaining. 🤣
