There are always extenuating circumstances for when it comes to health issues. And this is part of why I struggle with giving spare change to homeless people, you just don’t know what landed them on the streets. It could have been a genetic predisposition to alcoholism or it could simply be that they punched out their own ticket to nowhere.

This auction pleads for $100,000 to help them with their treatment for anxiety and panic disorder and agoraphobia. The part that frustrates me is that this auctioneer offers nothing in return. If I were to beg that amount of money from a stranger, I sure would work out some barter to return the favor. Sure, give them the money, with a signed contract that they will help five other people live substantially better lives in return for their treatment.
