Full story: Deming Headlight

Last Wednesday's blast of cold air is a reminder that many young people in Luna County brave winter without warm coats.

Last year when I donated some coats for the children
I gave at WalMart.

A week later the coats I donated were "For Sale" at
the flea market north of town.

The Latino women that was selling them had little
children the coats would fit.

The kids were very cold standing there.

So I asked her why the kids weren't wearing the
coats donated for then.

Her ANSWER: Don't come by booth again. Go away!

Another well-intentioned but mis-guided effort.
This is exactly why I don't donate NOTHING to NOBODY.
It's all a big scam!

The article title reads: "Kids for Coats accepting Donations"

So I can donate Kids and get coats in return this year? Excellent.

Also; dongs.

Wow, a triple-negative.

So you don't donate? or You don't donate NOTHING (impying you Donate SOMETHING; since [n't] portion of the word "Don't" tells a reader you do the opposite of the subject specified)

So had you eliminated the "Don't" your phrase would read "This is exactly why I donate NOTHING to NOBODY" (making sense; sort of)

However; with the "Don't" the context of your sentence fragment your statement reads as "This is exactly why I donate SOMETHING to EVERYONE"

Also; dongs.

Its all well intended unless it gets into the wrong hands.This shouldn't discourage people from doing the right thing.
