Last but not least
St. Joseph’s Indian School, Wiki page, Charity Navigator page (not rated) BBB page. Opt-out here saintjosephs@stjo.org
I have read about the prize packages that St. Joseph’s mails out. This person received almost the same mailpiece.
This one includes:
- Dreamcatcher
- 2 pads of paper
- 2 calendars
- 2 sheets of mailing labels
- 1 sheet of stickers
They sent all this crap. Then have the gaul to ask for $5 to cover the cost of sending the dreamcatcher, that was made in China.
