My sister is a selfish little person, who is planning on throwing out her old things instead of donating them because it would inconvenience her to hold on to them until the church has a toy drive. I explained to her how simple it is to donate, and I said to her “If Mom and Dad couldn’t afford to buy you things for Christmas, wouldn’t you want help? Or would you want to be ignored and forgotten because a girl didn’t, ‘want that stuff to sit in the house for a month’?” I think that got to her a little, but knowing my sister, she wont give a **** the next day, I’m trying to help her, but what I’m doing isn’t working, how do I get through to her? And its not just this instance, shes taking a trip down a slippery slope towards being an uncaring, selfish person, I see it in everything she does, she treats people like appliances.

Answer:
maybe she could just drop her stuff off at a goodwill, or something. i donate things that i don't want, but it IS hard for me to save boxes of stuff for months and months... after a while, I just want it to be gone! if she won't save it for your church's drive... try to talk her into donating it to another organization right away. maybe you could help her!
