Agree..and
This thread reminds me of that tv show back a few years ago.
They’d Give houses away to deserving families. People down on their luck due to illness, death special circumstances. etc
Sadly many of the “gift” homes could not even be maintained by the people gifted them. . some had to sell them as they were just way too large, too costly to run.
Others were foreclosed. There were Tax loopholes that the show could use, but not the families..a total debacle imho
So the alleged good intention to give people homes was always so questionable to me back then. Why give people mansions and mini mansions... why everything over the top.. what they really needed were regular homes and Support thru difficult times.
The show was popular, the cast became stars making $$$ and many of the needy... were left in worse positions. Sad
Wants versus needs ....exploited
I don’t respond to gofundme, nor phone or knocks on the door.
I’ve chosen to donate to specific charities with proven records over the years.
