What are the wrong reasons? Do you think people are buying some spite gift or something? This makes no sense.

If you are going to look at a list some kid wrote and judge them for dreaming of something big, you're doing it wrong. Rich kids wish for those things too. Doesn't mean they get them, not should it mean that the poor kids get them. But they are just kids, and they are making a wish list. That's all.

If a person doesn’t want to buy the xbox they move on to the next tag. Why is that so hard for you to understand that there isn’t a big process around it?

But apparently there is according to a lot of people in this thread

You probably started this thread, out of the blue, just to be a scold. It’s not even time yet for these programs. What’s your deal?

Yeah, why give them the opportunity to buy some groceries that their kids might need more than the junk you plan to give them.

This isn’t the grocery assistance program. There are other programs for that.

No shit? I didn't know that until you just told me.

If a mother needs to return an expensive item in order to buy groceries for the holidays, I certainly wouldn't judge her and would be happy the kids had something to eat. Clearly, you've never been in that situation.

Spare us, Mother Theresa.

You sound like a lovely person. Please leave the poor people alone. They don't need your shitty "charity."

People like you need to stay far away from charitable programs. Sneering at the donors is the absolute last thing they need. You and your shitty attitude can stay home.

You first. Giving your scraps to poor people doesn't make you a good person.

If you think money is scraps then you can’t be helped. You’re doing more harm than good by turning off potential donors. If you’re not a recipient or donor what is your point?

I am a donor. I give to these types of programs every year. I was also very poor growing up.

Giving money is one thing. Judging poor kids for dreaming big is entirely different. Or have you forgotten what we are talking about in all of your indignation?

So in your pea brain you think its a good idea to harass, shame, and scold would be donors from participating in this program where the vast majority of kids have needs that are easily met? What exactly is your goal here because your attitude makes zero sense. Luckily the people who run these programs are nothing like you at all. Not that you would have the first clue.

When someone gives out of the goodness of their heart what they are able to I welcome it, of course. When rich bitties get together and try to lecture others about how poor kids should never even dare to ask for expensive items because they should know their station in life, I find that disgusting. People who want to give, just do. They are not turned off by seeing expensive items on a list that a 6 year old wrote. Get it now?

No because I know what a joke you are. You aren’t familiar with these programs or how they work.
