Sad Times We Live In

[quote=kev374]I do not involve myself with requests like this. I think people who are really in need should seek help from the missions etc. We should in turn help out the charitable organizations. Handing help directly to people you don’t even know is not a prudent thing to do.[/quote]

I also think that based on the poorly composed post (lack of punctuation, spelling and grammar) that we should send our donations to her school rather than to her family as clearly they need it more.

I’m involved in an organization called St. Vincent de Paul that handles situations like this.
I forwarded her post to the St. V in Lake Elsinore and will call tomorrow to check up.
What we do when get a call is go to the house and speak to them in person. If they are unable to work because of illness we check medical records, if they can’t pay an electric bill we ask to see that.
Unfortunately about half of the calls that we get are scammers, so we try to weed them out. Most of the legitimate cases are found by friends and neighbors who call in for the people. The people who are really in need are usually the last ones to call in because they don’t want to take charity.

Most churches offer food, utilities and rent assistance for low income people. Also most churches I know of don’t require you attend in order to get assistance for food.
We have a friend that is a single mother with three kids and her husband left her when youngest kid was 2. He quit his job and met some 20 something moved away and has never paid any children support.
Even with her dire situation she has always been to proud to receive food and assistance. Which has amazed me they live in a one bedroom, she attends college and works part time. Just crazy how many people are in this kind of situation! It really sucks!!

I would also not send a check but give a gift card.
