Most likely a professional fundraiser. Typically the above keep 85%-90%, the charity gets the leftover.

I say 99% likelihood that it was a scam charity, especially with the guy saying it was his first day on the job. Typical modus operandi for these outfits.

I will bet the only reason he came back was that someone talked to the MIL on the phone and she had promised a donation. Talk to the MIL and make sure she understands it is a scam charity that preys on old/lonely people. Giving money to any boiler room operation like this will get her on a victims list that they sell to other similar operations.
My thoughts exactly, Filliam, I am trying to convince my Sister in law, who has power of attorney to get her phone number changed. Sunday, I intercepted a caller collecting for the "Children of Missouri who's water is tainted"
Today also included a call from "Medicare", they hung up when I took the phone from her. Not sure if I can change her number, as my name is not on the bill.
