Reply #63: what "harm" has been done? [View All]

[noiretextatique]

an individual who solicits gifts doesn't have the same obligation to givers as does a legal charity.

if you give a man on the street $1 and so do 49,000 other people, what exactly do you "deserve?" nothing...you "deserve" absolutely nothing, nada, zip. that's what you "deserve" when you donate, aka, give a gift, to any individual, particularly one who you know is ill and still in the hospital.
there is nothing suspicious about giving a gift...except the repeated insiuations that you are owed something in return for that gift.
i find that more than suspicious...it's crass, rude, and insensitive, considering a man is fighting for his life.

it's great that those who collected the money are working to provide information about how it was spent, but they really are under no obligation to do so, because: you gave a gift.
