      I know, it’s like Oprah giving away cars. But still, takes a special person to see that as an opportunity to scam them

        takes a special person

        No, it really doesn’t.

        When someone brags about their wealth, and offers you free stuff without stipulation or limitation, the recipient is going to accept that offer. Any recipient.

        It takes a special person to offer financial support to a grieving mother because it’s looks great on television, and later withdraw that support.

        Oh look at this terrible calamity that has befallen you, why don’t you take this very nice thing that you can’t afford to make you feel better wink, I’ll surprise you with the bill for it once it’s too late and you can manage the burden of crushing debt as well as your grief at the loss of your child.
