Never in my life have I ever had to ask for money but my way of giving has been donating my time and often my money as a volunteer with the Red Cross and as a finished carpenter for a mission group from Evansville, Indiana. Asking for money is a whole different ballgame. One finds out during desperate times one seeks extreme measures to help a loved one. You find out who your friends
Are and even the willingness or lack of relatives to extend their help. I had been a Radiology Technologist my whole working life and between being on call 24/7 and advancing in my career, I garnered few, lasting, friends. I've asked for help with a Christian volunteer group I volunteered with in Biloxi, Ms. And, in the Biblical sense, the $#*! crowed because out of eight, none responded as if they didn't even know me. I tried again and one said he was 81, I'm 80, and was not able to donate because he didn't know what life had in store for him. And, again, the rest did not respond. I had one person block me on messenger because I think she thought I was going to ask for money. So, asking for money is one of the toughest things to have to do where one must rely on the kindness of strangers when it comes to asking for money. We have had a lot of people visit my daughter's page, 2116 as of date, with seven donations. With so many others needing help, it is refreshing to witness there are people out there that use their hard-earned money to help others. When comes to GOFundMe, they will help one through this journey with their patience, understanding, and kindness especially when an element of mistrust on my part ebbed its way into my thoughts at such a trying time, they came through. I gave them 5 stars and a very deserving 5 stars.
