I'm sure everyone already understands this, but it definitely bears repeating: if you're going to donate your money to something on a GoFundMe or YouCaring page, make sure it's for something you believe in, someone you're moved by, or someone you care about. There was a comparison done between two pages started roughly the same time; one was for a kid with a traffic ticket he didn't want to pay off, the other was for a young woman battling cystic fibrosis. Their goals were vastly different, 500 to 8,000, and yet the kid raised nearly 1,200 dollars, more than double his goal, before the young woman even reached 100 dollars. She's since raised nearly 5,000, but she could be at 6,200 if people had thought "maybe this kid should just work to pay it off like the rest of society", but that's clearly too much to ask. Honestly, though, don't hand your money over to idiots and frauds; if you're going to hand over money at all, make sure it's for something you truly care about. And of course Bruised Music, Vol. 2 is great, it's Tenement, what do you expect?
