I completely understand. This one may be legit but even so, oftentimes these things never turn out the way the donors intended. Do a search and you'll find one of these stories on the forum from a couple of years ago. Tragic story, family needs money etc. They took the money and went on a vacation to Hawaii. I personally know a coworker with a niece who has Spina Bifida. Tragic story and 100% true. They took up donations, set up donation buckets at local stores etc. I thought it was ironic that a lady with no less than 6 gold rings on her hands was begging for donations from co-workers. I asked some specifics about the situation and her sister was a single mom, so the medical bills were already 100% paid for by taxpayers through medicaid. So, I asked what the donations would be used for then, and she wasn't sure. I'd love to think the best about people in tragic situations, but it's hard to imagine a welfare mom with 100% paid-for medical bills using her new found donation money on anything responsible. I'm not saying people shouldn't donate if that's what they want to do, but this is the internet, so don't kid yourself. Even if the tragic story is true, you may still be doing nothing more than buying the family a plasma television or vacation to Hawaii. |
