I have an offer for TorchtheWitch. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by tammywammy (a host of the General Discussion forum).

You asked for donations in your current thread regarding the tooth that's been giving you a problem. I'd like to help you but first I would like to know if this is a legitimate request.

I have donated in the past but I made sure before I parted with my money that the need was real. (Think Andy Stephenson)---I think most DU members feel the same way.

It appears that many DUers do not believe you when you post threads asking for donations. You've posted quite a few over the last couple of years and some have appeared questionable.

I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt with this recent call for help and this is how I propose to do it.

Work with me to prove that you have an Oral Surgeon at the ready by allowing me to speak with his or her Office Manager or Admin Assistant. If I am convinced that all is legit---- I will ask if I and others can help pay for your procedure.

Again...if I am going to part with my hard earned money, I do not believe that this is to much to ask.

PS: for those who pop in on this thread to say she is a con artist....let's give her a chance to see how she responds.
