Like this douchebag. I have no idea why people give in to this shit. So many middle class, well off people who could easily recover from something choose to scam money of people because its free money and they take advantage off stupid peoples sympathy.
Im not saying he wouldnt have struggled but thousands of others struggle with life and similar situations aswell and get through it by making sacrifices.
All while there are millions of people who need this money SO much more than these fucksticks. They being in your own country who are say homeless or people who have been in poverty all there lives. Why not give money to them(directly not through evil NPO and charties that take 90%)

The homeless and poverty people should go get jobs. So what if people want to help with crowdfunding. Why not give them money directly? Because they would probably spend it on drugs. Obvious is obvious.

Donate to a food drive. In my city they have a few that give out food once a week, and it's probably the only way most of the homeless people are able to eat.
But I don't know why you're so butthurt about crowdfunding. Injuries can ruin people's lives, and some people just want a little help. It allows people to help people out in their time of need across the world. A dollar isn't much, but when you have 1000 people donate a dollar(or more) it helps quite a bit.

Not everyone can just "get a job" such as the people living in third world subsistence farming communities in third world countries who starve on a a daily basis. Typical american only thinking about america and not the rest of the world which if you didnt actually know actually exists and has much worse problems than you.
Please dont tell me these people need the money more than them. There is SO many ways you help people who need it rather than giving it to lazy middle class people. Yes there are a few who may truly need it but I would say almost all of them are just greedy and lazy.

How long does it take for news to reach you down there? This is months old.
Crowd funding donations are more tolerable than the usual "viral" donations we've had for ages. There's a better chance the crowdfunding ones are actually planning to spend the money how they say. Most of the those stupid commercials you see on TV just go to line the pockets of rich people.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Of course there are people who need it more than him. But that's like saying "that feral dog is much worse off than my dog at home, I should just let my dog starve since he's doing so good".
Life is hard, if someone can help another person, then that's honestly amazing. But humans always seem to find a way to live and survive.

most times people donate the shit they sont want to eat such as the canned pumptin that mysteriously ended up in the pantry, they end up having to pay people to sort through the stuff and get rid of the outdated foods, even the canned good, if you donate cash they can get reasonable needs for nutrition and they can actually make efforts at getting fresh produce and other much needed items and often times work with farmers directly. I've mentioned it here before that I've donated a lot of fresh produce to food banks and even grew only for a few of them for a few years
I frequently tell people to avoid donating to charities, food banks are important and they're local, they help the people in the immediate area and in most cases it's kids that receive the greatest benefit. large charities send money overseas where it's frequently misused or even confiscated and never reaches those it's claimed to help... that's when the money isnt going into the pockets of executives

Yeah I can understand that. I'll usually donate extra soups or something along those lines every month. I've donated boxes of cereal before, but they're really expensive.
Honestly, the thought of donating fresh produce didn't really cross my mind so much. I just assumed it wouldn't work out for some reason.
My city has a decently sized homeless population. It's not super huge, but they're around. Probably more than I know, since there's not really any big groupings. But in the past 5 years or so, I've only seen 1 person ask for for money.
We do have a trailer park, that some of the houses are decently nice, and others have super low living conditions. I once helped a guy carry some stuff to his trailer. It was probably the size of a medium bathroom.
It is really cheap housing there though. But there were some trailers there that were even smaller.

a good rule of thumn, it you arent willing to eat it, no one else will either
most people use a canned food drive as a means of cleaning out the cabinets

try and avoid donating produce unless they have an immediate need

my little brother keeps canned goods that include things like the cup-a-soups, dried meats, beans, rice and the like along with a can opener in his truck, anyone with a sign saying 'will work for food' gets 2 bags. he's offered hundreds of them jobs with a good pay and the majority dont accept. a few have and worked for him for a long time, he runs a couple of them with their own crews
