Dumb idea! It could be a scam,too! I won't do it! Bad idea to even consider donating money to this person through Paypal! If this would be legit I still wouldn't do it! People get into their own messes and can get out of themselves!

Would you want someone to do it if it was you was in this same boat or not? Sometimes bad things happen to good people. What is sad there is so many scammers and crooks in the world no trust nobody anymore.So its better to be safe then sorry correct?

I would not donate a dollar! I would not be hesitant that it's a scam & not many like the idea of cyber beggars either. Shoot who's going to donate to my bills??? Anyone volunteering? My 4hrs my pt job is down to isn't even paying the groceries... I want a pity party too! And I'm sure many others who are just barely scraping by would like $ to stay afloat as well.

Hi, DonnaLove1976! If it is forreal, I will donate a $1.00. It would be nice of some of the rich people would help make this possible too. They spend their money on expensive clothes, shoes and jewelry. Plus boats and cars. So why not help a struggling person out. We should all do what we can to help another person out. It is just one dollar. If this person is telling the truth, I would donate one dollar to them. But, I will check out this information to make sure that they are not trying to pull a slick one on me. It would sound like a scam at first, but it could be true, we just never know.

Sure I would donate a dollar for it is a dollar. And if it turns out that is was a scam then look out karma. For I hope no one would lie about loosing their home for I lost my home last year. And I am just now getting back on my feet. Then I got injured on the job & had to have surgery on my left shoulder.
