I'm pretty suspicious of GoFundMe request...it seems to be the knee jerk first move of anyone, whether they need it or not. Why?
I've seen so many requests where people live in decent homes, have newer cars are employed and seem to be fine but want others pay for their funerals....and in some cases big expensive funerals.
At our high school, there are lots of underserved kids, really poor kids, kids with only one parent or even kids living with only an older brother or sister.
when tragedy strikes....teachers and students always jump in pool money and take care of business.
Seems those that really need extra help are overshodowed by those that us GFM donation as a barometer to measure how much "love" is out there.
