Look you guys, I know both Adam and Nikki. Both are good people and are not scammers. I'm sure Adam would of NEVER asked for help unless it is truly needed.

If Nikki did not have insurance, that is a mistake on her part I will agree BUT it does not change the fact that she needed help. Nikki does OK I'm sure of it but do you guys have any idea how much it costs to stay in the hospital for even 1 week, getting tests daily, brain scans and all that goes with it? It's going to cost a small fortune, and I am happy to chip in, even if it only covered her medicine for an hour.

Adam asked for help and you had the choice to help or not help. If you did then you did, if you did not... then you did not. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not some great mystery about where the money is going.

I hand out money to homeless every day. I donate to RedCross. I help friends in need. I sponsor children. Why? BECAUSE I CAN!!! I have been very fortunate in life and this job has made me a great deal of money. If I can not use a fraction of that money to help someone in need then all I have worked for is meaningless. You can't take it with you so you may as well enjoy it and help who you can with it while your here.
