Re: Does Donate For A Cause Really Care About Helping Charities Or Just Making Profits? (by Marie B.):
WE RECENTLY DONATED A TIMESHARE TO FLORIDA VETERANS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. I AM WAITING FOR THE OFFICIAL TRANSFER PAPERS FROM THE COMPANY HANDLING THE TRANSFER. THE RESORT (STEELE HILL DID THEIR PART) SENT ME A CONFIRMATION OF TRANSFER COMPLETION WHICH STATES THE TRANSFER WAS COMPLETED ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2011AND STATES THE NEW OWNERS NAME. EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL WAITING FOR TAX PAPER WORK, I FEEL BETTER KNOWING EVERYTHING IS OFFICIALLY OUT OF OUR NAME AND WE WILL NO LONGER BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. THEY DID TAKE A LONG TIME THOUGH, WE BEGAN THIS PROCESS IN AUGUST ALSO WE HAD TO PAY THE 2012 MAINTENANCE FEE OF $516. THAT BOTHERED ME SINCE WE WILL NOT BE OWNERS IN 2012. BUT IT WAS UNFORTUNATE FOR US THAT WE GOT SUCKED INTO THIS THING IN THE FIRST PLACE AND JUST WANTED (IN ALL HONESTY) TO GET RID OF IT. AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE....GLAD TO BE OUT OF IT AND WILL TAKE WHATEVER TAX BREAK WE CAN GET. THIS CAUSED US SO MUCH GRIEF, WE JUST WANTED OUT.
