[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is tough and why I HATE those go fund me type things. You are basically put in a position to judge if someone is worthy or not of a donation, and they know it. As far as your last line of dipping into savings, I would absolutely not. I would write a nice, heartfelt note saying you are not in a position to give financially ("as you know, the new addition has put Joe to work at a second job" type of thing) and offer something you feel appropriate, whether it's a ride to MD appointments, talking on the phone, a meal. FWIW, I would question whether they would be the type to, for example, drop their children off for 8 hours when you said you could do 2 hours, or otherwise have a lack of boundaries, but only you would really know if they would take advantage of any kindness.[/quote] +1. This is a good response. [/quote]
