A couple of years ago it came out that a family members child has a very painful disease and the treatments for her were extremely pricey. Her immediate family held a fund raising event that many local Philly companies supported. All the sports teams sent memorabilia, the local radio stations offered sit in's on their different shows, etc. Quite a bit of money was raised and they were able to really help the young lady. Fast forward to this summer and the family is asking for $ once again on Facebook via a GoFundMe page. Normally I would be fine with this but the family just bought a freaking new vet and a mobile home. So yeah... FU and your begging for money.
That leads me to last night. Wife says to me he did you see Kacy's facebook post about sending her daughter to Ital (This is a totally different family) via a GoFundMe page? Ummm no I didnt. Didn't they just have a huge 2 week European vacation this summer? Yes they did, but now the daughter wants to go back and study over in Italy and they are asking for money.
So I check Facebook this am and the mothers post was this "Well things are looking meek. We have only raised a couple hundred dollars, but I still have faith in all of you."
So is it now common place for well off families to beg for handouts on facebook etc? This #### drives me nuts.
