Well. That was an interesting read. Sucks it's happened.
Spearheaded a fundraiser last year, for someone. It ended up making the news and we got harassed by the media, but we refused to be interviewed - wasn't our story, we were just trying to help make the ending of it a bit different than it might have been, and had zero interest in the media noise - just wanted to get them helped and sorted. Some stuff came out later that we hadn't been privy to, but in the end, while their story was 99.99% true, that other info took a bit of doing to swallow. I finally decided to look at it this way - we had control of the funds, they didn't, and the bottom line was that we didn't just help them, we helped another party that was involved, who deserved the help just as much. Will I help another person? Most likely. I'll probably be a bit more likely to give it even more of a thorough side-eye though.
PIM's the one who has to live with this. I did the best I could with the info we had regarding PIM - I'll be able to sleep at night. I'll still help when I can. CP is a stellar place. I've met a few people from here and they've all been great. Even MMF.
