(23,953 posts)I believe in justice and equality over charity. I believe in providing a safe space for people to ask for help, without being judged and dehumanized and without having to prove themselves and their worth as a human being to yet another agency or organization.
There's no guarantee they will find help. Others use their discernment in that regard. My first step is to try to find help via existing resources when possible. If people have questions about a Wishlist post, they contact the individual directly or sometimes people pose their questions to me, privately.
Questioning someone's character publicly and suggesting they are not worthy of assistance for any reason is not an approach I am okay with, but this is not my site and I respect Skinner's opinion and the fact that others want the freedom to dissect one another publicly that way, derailing OPs in the process.
I have answered questions, repeatedly, here. How you perceive my answers is your business.
