https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216899096#post225 There are discrepancies that have caught my and others' eye. You offered to give hearts away to folks right after saying the electricity was going to be cut off, and now the water is going to be cut off. Maybe put money like that toward your utilities? Here are the previous GFMs for anyone interested: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215909861 https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215946390 https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216254697 https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216659843 And then there is this month's GFM. As another poster pointed out, you still have a couple of the previous ones open. Seems the stories of each GFM are the same-water bills, dental work, groceries and cigarettes and internet and overdraft bills WE ALL have those expenses and one time is truly a need but this poster has made over 8 grand from DU and lots of advice that seems to be rejected. This last fund was opened July 7 and promised to be over July 18 and yet the goal keeps raising and the poster keeps asking for more money. Many of us live on fixed income and this dude admits to spending too much money on credit cards and more. All of us have asked for help from time to time but this seems to be a full time job for this poster. To the tune of over 8 grand Several of us believe it is time to end this.

and let them handle it. If this person is truly in need, why embarrass them?

The poster who keeps asking older folks on fixed incomes to donate does not need this help. Alerters need to not hide this.

Admins need to approve GFMs, especially when folks do more than one.

MVD also says he is keeping this GFM open, so folks can just keep giving him stuff.
