[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares if they resell something? They own it, right? Anyone who needs money that badly is desperate. Why not help them? Who are you to judge?[/quote] That’s one view, not an unfair one. I am totally willing to admit it’s paternalistic, but in a program like this I’m giving because I want the satisfaction of having given nice gifts to kids who otherwise wouldn’t have gotten them during the holiday season. Not funding purchases to be resold for cash, even if it is to purchase Tide or whatever. If that’s what I wanted to contribute to, then I would just give cash to a needy family. [/quote] If we wanted to just help families we would definitely just give cash. [/quote] This isn't about just helping families. It's about giving a gift to someone. Cash would be spent on groceries, bills, whatever. There are other programs to assist with that.[/quote]
