On the several occasions when I've decided to send someone cash to help them out to get through whatever situation they were in at the time I've pretty much done so with the knowledge that I'm giving it away and will never see it again. Even those who vowed "I'll pay you back" have never done so, and I've never pursued it with any of them.
But due to the fact that so many donation-seekers in recent years have later been exposed as less than legitimate, I have refrained from offering further donations or cash gifts of that sort. I still donate to causes thouugh, like Homegrown's fight against Acacia, the Red cross relief fund for 9/11 and the NO flood, etc. No more handouts though.
Damian, send jim your physical mailing address and let him send you a cheque and be done with it.
