” I can’t believe what is considered poverty nowadays, and what people will ask handouts for.”
Well stated.
They left out the middle eastern countries where many live in graveyards.... Egypt for example.....
The cell phones, video games on the TV don’t qualify as poverty stricken to me.
Also, I was waiting for any of the Uber $$$$ earners to state, “ and I have just given 1 million dollars ( a mere pittance of my annual take) to this worthy cause....”
I know someone who took in several Russian orphans just a few years ago. They grew up in a house with no windows or doors, and never had enough. When they first came to live here, I remember they would sit out on the lawn and just watch the house lights - they were so fascinated by a house that had electricity.
