Huh. Hard to know who actually needs financial support I could offer and scams.

I have a lot of compassion, which makes me an easy mark for the, what, 100,000(?) full time Internet grifters?

I'm a big fan of the relative safety of the vetting process of Kiva (for example) https://www.kiva.org/lender/jhannah but their model isn't viable for all situations of financial need.

And "Over 10,000 people start campaigns on GoFundMe every day". Ooof.
