I don't know. I helped collect some money for a guy this Christmas because he was laid off literally a year ago and things are obviously a little desperate at this point. It wasn't just me, but a group of friends, and while he didn't ask for the money it was gratefully accepted.
I didn't donate to PIMKing here, basically because he just rubbed me the wrong way. Otherwise I probably would've. I'm probably an easy mark that way, and maybe that's to my detriment sometimes, but I'm comfortable knowing that I try to help people when I can.
Anyway, I understand your sentiment. I just think that there are times people need help genuinely and asking for help is a good thing. It is probably very difficult for people to come around to doing that, and I hope that they find some help when they do.
