[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 emails are enough and 2/3 is actually a really good donation amount. Those 7 really might not have the money so move on with what you got. [/quote]

That is highly unlikely if this is a private or in a wealthy district as OP implied.  I've worked at one of those schools.  There were literally maybe 10-20 households in the entire school who couldn't afford $25 b/c they were on majority or total financial aid.  If you can afford the mortgage on a $1M house, and drive a Lexus, and carry expensive purses, you can contribute $25 to make the school year a little fun and special for your kid and their classmates.

This is exactly the kind of neighborhood it is. These people work six-figure jobs and drive Range Rovers. is absolutely not a question of not be able to afford it. -OP[/quote]

Again, you really don't know that. Maybe the house was paid for by parents and they're swimming in medical bills or bankruptcy at the moment. Maybe the DH is self employed and the business is having a bad quarter. It's much easier to just extend grace and assume they didn't give it for a reason than to hound 7 families for $25. Make do without it. What you got is what you have to work with.[/quote]
