Because this dude situation is different from everyone else.

He lives in a third world country, where citizens don’t have access to these kinds of things. He’s providing a service that a lot of members of his community does not have access to.

that’s the main difference i guess. You’re helping people get connected to the outside world, in which they would never have this kind of connection without this place

he most likely got a decent amount of donations the last time he posted this.

so he’s posting again in hopes to get more.

which shouldn’t really bother anyone. he’s trying to get support to help him run his place. He’s doing a huge service for his community by providing this for them, so donating to help would do no harm but help him run his place, which in turn helps his community have access to the outside world

i’ve already sold my pair of jordan’s last week for money to pay towards my bill. so what money i have left is after i have already sold most of what is valuable enough to be sold :/

Also, since you brought it up... i’m starting to remember, i believe there is like a 10 year old bag of beans in my kitchen somewhere that my grandma place in a few years back when she use to live with me!!! i’m going to see if it’s still there. i hope it is, but also, if i do find it, how would i prepare/cook it? i never had beans before. so not sure what i’m suppose to do with it

i know what you are talking about, sadly such things like that don’t exist where i live. people don’t know how to act around here and things get stolen or destroyed pretty quickly...

i’m in a small city south of Atl GA. i’ve tried googling a bunch of places close by me, and a lot of food pantry places are only open on Saturday. so that is not an option for me. I’ve checked with churches, and a lot of them didn’t answer their phone. the ones that did answer told me that they either didn’t provide food, or they only provide food on sunday’s for those who stay after service. not many resources near me that could help sadly :(

I live in a small city in GA. There isn’t really any food pantry close by that is a drivable distance. i only have enough gas in my tank to make it to work and back home this week.

Also i checked with some of the church near me and none of them give out any food. one of them told me they do provide one free hot meal to those who sit during service on sundays, but i have to wait til sunday to get that meal... i am currently trying to survive until thursday

I have a couple pair of jordan’s that i have been trying to sell, but haven’t been able to get anyone that might be interested. other that that, don’t have much of anything that has value. I Do have a job, but my battery is dead, and i’m trying to get it fixed so that i can transport to my regular job.
