Donation request platforms are becoming ever more popular. ... I find myself becoming a little cynical and exasperated with repeated posts and requests.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: Donation request platforms are becoming ever more popular. Sadly, many families rely on these online fundraising campaigns for medical bills and other very valid needs.
I was taken aback by the manner of the request, and since my friend hadn’t posted anything about it, I thought her account had been hacked. I reached out to her and asked if her account was compromised. She acknowledged that she had sent me the request. GENTLE READER: The world is full of people in need, and Miss Manners commends your sympathetic attitude. But even rich philanthropists know that they can’t help everyone and must judge cases in order to use their donations effectively.
