Sad to see it becoming a thing in the US.
It was probably always a thing in the states, but now people are finally waking up.
The fact that we have homeless camps on our very doorstep and yet are sending money to Africa where the Warlords will just steal it is telling as to how futile charity organizations really are.

The problem with those types of charity is that money often isn't the core issue.
