I’m a sucker for those people, the amount of times I’ve said I’ll donate and then immediately call my bank straight afterwards cancelling it… honestly, I would’ve given about £2000 by now and students can’t afford that!!! But I donate occasionally when I do research, NOT when someone in the street performs voodoo on me!

What a fun post. I usually pass by people asking for money too, but sometimes something just makes me stop. It’s cool that you could have that experience. Thanks for sharing.

This is my favorite NTKOG yet. I love people like that- the ones who always look on the bright side, and see the good in people more than the bad. Because it convinces you too, you know? That the good is stronger than the bad.

Nice call!

I guess that these scenes are harder to see in the US (specially too long after Christmas).

But here in Brasil they’re commomplace… and, at least for me, it really kills me to deny help. I try doing what I can, but poverty is an issue so big here (in Rio) that sometimes I feel I’m swiming against the flow. :/

I have a similar tale – one of these people caught me as I was walking into a wine shop. I am poor. I’m in debt. However, I would have looked like a royal DOUCHE if I had been all, “No I can’t afford to feed children in the Congo, but if you’ll excuse me I need to go lock down this thirty dollar bottle of Malbec.”

I had to cancel the subscription eventually. I justified it with the fact that I serve almost exclusively indigent clients. That’s cool, right?

I’d just be skeptical about whether or not your credit card information would go to the right people and they would then rob you blind. Other than that, good for you!
