I was the anon who messaged you earlier about some of the GoFundMes. I just thought you should know, both for your sake and others. I know its hard to tell that sort of stuff on the internet, but I would like money to get to people who actually need it and are legit. (Also, since you know this person/their cause I have donated some money to them, hope it helps.)

I get that, anon, and I didn’t take it at all badly, I considered your points and then decided my approach. Although it did end up mostly unchanged, because I’d need more evidence of specific posts being scams to not donate, I did get what you were saying and why. 

My hope is to do as much as I can, so I don’t really think, oh, since I’m donating to this person, I won’t donate to that person. I look at each on its own merits. In a way, being too careful might also keep money from those that need it too, right? And I didn’t mean to make that last post’s tag a dig at you, it was supposed to be a friendly, joking comment and I certainly didn’t want to pressure you to donate, you didn’t need to donate to like, validate your point or to be able to send this ask, but separately, on behalf of that person, I do appreciate it! No hard feelings, at least on my end, we just have slightly different approaches is all. 🙂
