London
(ANI):
Pop
queen
Madonna
has
been
blamed
for
a
downturn
in
donations
to
the
Malawi
orphanage
from
where
she
adopted
daughter
Mercy
James.
According
to
Daily
Mirror,
organisers
claim
they
are
struggling
to
raise
funds
as
people
wrongly
assume
the
pop
superstar
has
donated
thousands
of
pounds.
They
are
adamant
it's
because
of
the
Material
Girl
that
potential
benefactors
are
failing
to
offer
their
help.
They
insist
she
did
not
offer
a
huge
donation.
"We
find
it
a
day-to-day
struggle
to
survive.
Some
days
we
don't
even
know
if
there
will
be
enough
food
to
feed
the
babies.
Donors
are
not
giving
because
they
are
under
the
impression
Madonna
paid
us
vast
amounts
of
money," the
Daily
Star
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
Head
of
the
orphanage,
Annie
Chikhwaza,
adds:
"I
was
never
offered
a
penny.
I
did
not
expect
any
either."
