There's a family I know who wanted to send their son, who is quite smart, to a private Christian school. The Mom told her church members they can't afford it, so the church surprised them with a fund-raiser for the kid's tuition
Meanwhile, I know the family lives in what looks like a 4000 sq. foot McMansion, and Dad drives a big jacked-up Ford 250, has a boat parked in the backyard, and mom drives an Infiniti.
Yes, they probably DON'T have money for son's tuition, and they probably believe they need help, because they probably spend every penny that comes in, and more.
I admit I don't know their family details, and I do not want to be a gossip, a grinch, or tear people down, so have simply kept my observations to myself.
Lucky kid, at least he'll get a good education.
