I agree 100%.



When it is raising your children, this is a sound policy.

When it comes to charity to strangers, those less fortunate, a mother of eight in need - it is misplaced.

Your sentiment has its place, but not in this particular case.



I agree 100%

Have you ever mentioned or considered talking to the parts store(s) about this and see if they'd be interested in "helping" as well ? If anything, donate some parts or sell them to you at discounted prices ?

I really do not think the purpose of this thread was to criticize the mom and her circumstances.

To the OP: good on you for helping. Is that a destroyed piston?
