Yes, there is nothing at all wrong with that sentiment, and the idea of contributing is still a good one. Every good act, no matter the size, is still beneficial. The real issue here is people doing something thinking they are giving a positive contribution and not realizing that their good intentions are being abused and are in fact making the problem worse than it was before. It is not enough to feel bad about an issue, want to help them and then just throw money at it. Learn about the situation and make sure that the impact you have is going to be beneficial.

Otherwise, all you're doing is paying for an unburdened conscience, oblivious to whatever harm you may bring.
