Some people are so greedy

Tweet

I am in a group on Facebook in which we pass on used items at no charge. The basic idea is frugal living and keeping usable items out of landfills. Charity is not the purpose of the group. The admins of the group and a few helpers(I am one) organize a Christmas adoption event, and it is currently in it's second year. One of the stipulations is you cannot request help elsewhere(we can't always find out so this is mostly an honor thing). We have had a few people back out as they were getting help elsewhere. Another thing is that we only require one gift per child under 14, and the gift should be reasonably priced. We actually just had someone withdraw as we refused to list the tablets, bikes, tvs or gaming systems and asked for more reasonable requests. We are trying to help, but most people in the group are of modest incomes. Some seem to expect more and more. I guess some of it is just society, but there are some truly generous women in the group that offset the greed shown by others.
