A neighbor “died suddenly” last week. A friend set up a fundraiser for them. His widow told my wife that the few thousand dollars will take a lot of heat off while they’re working out insurance, pensions etc. Plus a funeral for a 14 year old is the very definition of an unexpected expense.
Plus, people just want to help in tragedy. The family can only eat so many casseroles.
Sooner or later somebody is gonna snap and start hunting medical personnel.
