I tend to ignore pleas for help in most cases, because I am a suspicious S.O.B. and don't like to be scammed. Probably pass on a some "legitimate" causes for that very reason. There's also a serious difference between someone who needs surgery to save their eyesight and someone who needs to pay the 3-month-overdue electric bill.
Every once in a while I see something come up that seems legit, and I might kick in a few bucks. Shit happens - don't mind helping people when it happens to them.
But that's just my opinion. I don't think any less of someone who would ask for help than I do of someone so sanctimonious as to think that everyone who needs help is somehow at fault for it.

PD I am the same way.
I would think most people on Oprano give back a lot. To their friends, community and people in need.
It is one thing to be caught in some dilemna that is an emergency. It is something different to not have properaly planned.
My mom always says" Lack of proper planning does not constitute and emergency on my part" You can tell who writes the checks from teh companies.
