Rejected petition Help our needy first

More details

We believe that the central government and local councils should look to helping our own poor, starving or abused children and elderly before all others, once this is done then and only then should we look to help others. Why do we insist in sending money to countries that are so corrupt that the majority of it never reaches the intended.
