re: GoFundMe accounts? Am I the only one who finds this despicable?

Hi everyone, I'm the guy that was asking about starting one for his "sick cat". The fact is my wife and I have been in pretty dire financial straits the last year and this $1650 vet bill was something that happened unexpectedly (he's not sick, he has a pretty nasty infected wound from an accident). When we heard the price I was pretty depressed and posted that status. We are NOT doing a GoFundMe for his treatment (which some of my friends have done) and are going to make it work.

To the guys that say it's pathetic, I agree and that's why I'm not doing it. Honestly I hate them pretty much all the time too but, like I said, we've been pretty down financially and I've been somewhat depressed for the last few months.

I'm not going to spend much time mentioning the anonymous person on here that thinks I'm a "fricking loser" but that's cool, unfriend me on FB since you know it's me.

Also my name is Jeremy Logan and yes I was in drumline.

I'll probably get shite from people on the site, but that's cool.

Family friend was hitting up folks for donations to send his daughter on a European vacation. He and his wife probably make $250k combined. Exactly why am I suppose to foot the bill so your daughter can go to Europe for a month?

Alright alright. It is different for people who don't set it up themselves. Sad that we've seen it both ways tho.....

Sorry for being so harsh. I've seen this shite been used the wrong way, and then I've seen the family fighting to stay above water bc their six yr has leukemia and they had to quit jobs to get the kid treatment.

I truly hope you find the funds. Pets are family too. I'd be devastated if we couldn't afford to get our little beagle mutt needed care.

If you start the gofundme I will contribute. Or email me your address and I will mail it to you. Wellkellsbells@gmail.com

Good luck!

I would never have started one without many posters asking me to do so. It made a pretty cool Christmas gift for my sister. I wouldn't start one for anything else but it does serve a purpose in some instances.

I'm with you on this. Last week, I was pulled up to a traffic light, and high school girls were holding out buckets asking for donations so they can raise the funds they need for summer camp. I said, "So, where's the car wash? You are going to do something for me to give you my money, right?"

The girls just looked at me with a perplexed look on their faces and said, "No, just asking for donations." I tossed in a nickle and drove away laughing.
