Toys or clothes for the kids, I'm in. I'm still too leery for cash, but I'll go for helping the kids. Let me know what we're doing please.

It makes my heart full of the joy of giving.
I will volunteer to pay for this woman to get her uterus removed if it isn't already.

Now you have gone a little overboard with that statement

I would rather help a family directly if I can. If this is legit then it would be a good thing to do.

Ah, the power of the internet. I remember when panhandlers had to actually go out on the streets to make a living.
When I lived in Towson, (just North of Baltimore) we knew all the panhandlers by sight and you got to know who was legit and who wasn't...
One time, a man approached me as I was getting out of my car. I'd met him before at a homeless shelter where I volunteered once and he "worked" the same part of town where I worked. He said he'd be grateful for whatever I could give him, so I grabbed a handful of change from the ashtray and held it out in a closed fist for him to take.
He looked at me really suspiciously and said, "What's that?" I showed him the coins and he took it.
I don't know what tricks people pulled on him, but he didn't trust me. I felt really bad, because I knew this guy to be legit.
Another panhandler in the next block would stand in front of restaurants at lunch time. This one little carryout place kept chasing him away because he'd block the door. One night the restaurant employees went clubbing in the city and came across the bum. They confronted him and asked him about his sob story and how he could be clubbing if he was homeless.
They didn't have problems with him in front of the restaurant anymore.
But the last time I bought into a sob story that wasn't verifiable was one night in downtown Baltimore, I was alone at the edges of not the best of areas. I was on my way to the company Christmas party. A man approached me and told me about his car breaking down and did I know where and when he could get a bus to a certain place because he had to be somewhere...Then he hit me up for money. I seriously didn't have any, because the company was paying for the night out. He called me some really nasty names, which I won't repeat, even if the censors would let them through.

I'll contribute to that fund as well. Seems I saw a bumper sticker once that said "if you can't feed the, don't breed them!"
Hard times hit most people and I can sympathize and even empathize but I wouldn't guilt trip people into helping me to give something to my kids.

I realize they are people out there trying to scam others but not everyone is.
If someone needs help, it is hard enough to ask but then to be made fun of?
If you don't want to help then don't. But why must every thread in here be attacked?
Not everyone is as cynical as you are. It is not a bad thing to want to help someone when they need it. Sometimes people fall and need a helping hand.

Family or church can help. To come on here and ask for gifts I wouldn't even buy my children because they can't even pay their bills is grotesque. I don't see that as being cynical. I see a new generation being brought up to believe they can have anything they ask for.
