I’ll donate to anyone for the first, mostly just as a virtual hug since I don’t have skills to be more useful. But the latter? No way.

I did donate to someone whose house burned down. I'm the PP who would prob not donate to a super wealthy person unless they were a close and trusted friend.

My house burned down and I didn’t have a go fund me for my kids and I. Insurance handled things. I would have loved meals or help with rides while we were displaced for two years. That would have helped tremendously

In that scenario, are the donations intended to replace their house and possessions, or merely a gesture in case someone wants to by meals and or other conveniences while are displaced and busy?

Many people sent us gift cards to grocery stores and to DoorDash, that was helpful. In any case like mine where the victim has insurance I don’t know why people have go out fund me- I did not because I had insurance I didn’t need cash I needed friends support and encouragement. Physical help like rides for the kids or help getting them to their multiple schools while displaced and having no bus.

Millions have been donated for Charlie Kirk’s wife and children and I believe he alone was worth over $10 million dollars.

I find this highly doubtful. I would bet it all went to a foundation related to his work and not her personal bank account.

Well,
You’re wrong. Started by Tucker Carlson and now it exceeds $6 million https://www.newsweek.com/donations-honor-charlie-kirk-top-6-million-2129599
