He'll be just fine with or without my $20/$50/$100... what ever.

Generally speaking (not about Ramos, but in general folks)... having people bail you out of every bad situation just makes things worse. It just teaches you that things "will work themselves out no matter what" when really, they won't.

Oh well, as long as everyone is happy, who cares. I'm not going to tell somebody when and when not to give their money to what they consider a worthy cause.

Oh, there are two great little things that can keep you out of trouble when emergency strikes... insurance and credit cards! Everyone should check into them if not already in possession!
