[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op never said how much it was. I would send 
$100 and be done with it.[b] I give more to strangers and I'm low income earner doing manual labor.[/b] What was the surgery?
That said, I have never given my cousins as they are capable of same manual labor as myself, but are simply bad at managing money.
No health problems or surgeries to consider.

A lot of these high earners on DCUM are incredibly nasty and selfish. Studies bear this out. It's why it's said that a rich person has as much chance of getting into heaven as a camel has of getting through the eye of a needle.[/quote]

I donate a ton and always help a friend or relative in legitimate need. But I also know a scammer when I see one 9there are several in our large extended family) and this type can get really abusive. There are red flags all over OP's post. Posts like yours feed into the scammer's game -- guilting OP into thinking she is a bad person if she doesn't give this random person money.[/quote]
