[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous]Here is the GoFundMe for the family in the duplex that lost everything. We go to the same elementary and I can vouch it’s legit. PTA is circulating it.

Don't they have renters insurance or home owners insurance to cover the loss of their possessions? [/quote]

$40k for your things in a tiny duplex seems like a lot of money to me.[/quote]

FFS you're begrudging these people money that people donated to them because they ended up in a $hit situation they had no control over???   What's wrong with you?

Let's blow up your house and see how you feel.  I'm sure $40K would be chump change in that situation.  [/quote]

Imagine every piece of furniture you own (we don’t even have crazy expensive tastes, but 3 bedroom sets + office furniture + dining room table/chairs + a couple couches is easily 15k (built up over a period of years). Think of every article of clothing you own, every piece of decor, sports equipment and instruments, electronics, etc. Now imagine you are having to do extra takeout because you don’t have a kitchen. You may need to take time off work (maybe even unpaid). Perhaps they want to splurge on something a little nice like a trip to get away for Christmas since they don’t have a home to bring new toys to. Insurance will take a while to pay out and the land issues could be weird with trying to re-build.

I don’t begrudge these people their GoFundMe one bit. I’m sure they’d gladly trade the money for their normal lives/home again. [/quote]

Seriously.  This is a family of four and their home was literally flattened.  40k is nothing. [/quote]

In the past two hours, they have reached over $50K and increased their goal to $100K.[/quote]
And you think that's too much? We keep a home inventory list for insurance purposes and have $150k worth of furniture/clothing/houseware in our little 3-bedroom house.[/quote]

Where did I say I thought it was too much? I didn't. I literally just said they increased the amount. What is wrong with you that you have to jump all over someone for stating a fact? Have a little empathy, people lost their home and ALL of their belongings. Their kids lost all their toys, maybe even their favorite stuffies. You are a real jerk.[/quote]
