Don't feel too bad about it Sue. While the information may not have been up to date. Those with a poor rating were still not vary good in the Snopes piece and those listed as good were still fairly good in the Snopes article. One charity that consistently has a high rating by Charity Navigator is Doctors Without Borders.
