      @@tka1528 there’s no need to be an asshole. I think she’s saying instead of some of the people that he has been doing go fund me for a girl that’s trying to better herself and put herself through nursing school is definitely a person that deserves help. If there was a way of helping her and I could send money to a GoFundMe, I would definitely do it. But I don’t know what your outburst was about.

I was born and raised about 45 minutes from where she lives, across state line in Virginia. I'm 68 now. I've been gone 35 years from my small town. Someone else made the comment that this is someone deserving of help. She is not asking but so deserving of a hand up..not a hand out. My only concern is her ending up helping her mother and her mother taking advantage of her. Good bless her her journey out of a situation that she didn't ask to be in. ❤🙏
