JanSParticipantagain, Junction Joe…I do not understand your negativity. Did you bother to read AND ABSORB what the OP was saying? If you do not want to help, or don’t have the means to help, perhaps it’s better to keep your opinions to yourself. This woman has just lost a beloved pet. How about a little sympathy and understanding. Thank you.

JoBParticipanti don’t know why what i posted earlier didn’t show up..but i will post it again… as best i can. I am in a bit of a post surgery muddle.
i can understand why some of you are sceptical of this OP. first she asks for donations for pet care and then for additional donations for cremation.. literally the same day… and she is less than appreciative or patient with the speed of the help she thinks she should be getting from volunteer agencies… totally forgetting that volunteer agencies are run by volunteers who have life crisis of their own to deal with…
watching her process unfold wasn’t particularly attractive… but then.. people are not at their most attractive or patient when they are dealing with what they see as overwhelming circumstances.. so.. who knows?
What i can’t get is why anyone would come onto the forum to belittle people who made the choice to give.
it’s not as though belittling those who make a different choice than you do verifies the accuracy of your own choice and it sure as heck doesn’t make you look like the better person.
every time we are asked to give to another.. even if we think we know them well.. we run the risk of feeling taken in.. .perhaps only because they didn’t make the choices with their funds that we would have wanted them to make.. but also perhaps because they scammed us big time.
that’s the nature of the beast. If you are kind some people will take advantage of you.
but.. that’s the choice all of us who choose to give make every time we give… to give in spite of the very real risk that we could end up feeling taken advantage of…
if you don’t want to make that choice, don’t make it.. but don’t think that your choice entitles you to the right to judge what we do with our money for people we may or may not know… in circumstances we may or may not know more about than you do.
it doesn’t.
thank goodness that raining on everyone else’s parade won’t change the choices their heart makes when they encounter a fellow human being in trouble…
and who knows.. at the end of the day you might be eternally grateful that it didn’t.
none of us ever knows when we will need help. -
