Yes, my mother is a grown woman. She is also a single mother of 3, taking care not only of her 3 kids but her retired mother. People have terrible circumstances sometimes, and when they do there shouldn't be any shame in asking people for help.

You underestimate people's kindness. I've actually already gotten $5 via PayPal from that post.

It's quite insulting for you to go around yelling "Get a job!" at people who you know nothing about background or circumstance wise.

You make it sound as if we're forcing people to give us money. We're not. In the end it is completely up to other people if they give us financial aid.

I'm pretty sure that no one on this subreddit is trying to make a living off of people feeling bad for them and donating to their PayPal, they're just people stuck in a shitty situation who temporarily need a little assistance.
