She politely said no, that she wouldn’t be sharing the page, and her friend became furious before accusing her of not caring about her son.
“I do love their son very much, but I suppose I am judging her for thinking she needs help,” she explained.
“I view crowdfunding as something for people who are desperate, who really need charity. My friends are people who live and eat well, have clothes to wear and a roof over their heads, don’t think twice about ordering a new toy or game, or kitchen gadget from Amazon, and have willingly taken on tens of thousands of dollars in debt for something they definitely don’t need.”
Although she realizes her friends didn’t expect to be billed $8,000, she knows it won’t break them financially. Additionally, her friends make double the amount of money she and most of her social media followers probably make, so they’d end up taking money from people who have less than them.
“I think it’s a better use of money to donate to people who really are in bad shape, whose electric is about to be shut off, who don’t know where their next meal is going to come from, that kind of thing,” she added.
Since refusing to share their fundraising page, her friends haven’t been speaking to her.
Should she have shared their fundraising page, or is she right to stand by her beliefs?
