There was a woman (due to privacy she has ask us not to mention her name) that received donations of $20,000 in 20 weeks!
Amazingly, the money she was collecting was for her credit card debt, she was not a needy mother or have hungry children!
CBS News: Correspondent Mika Brzezinski reports,
that this woman suddenly found herself unemployed.
Two years of marathon shopping put her debt out of control. "At one point it added up to $25,000," she says.
This lady had an idea: simply ask for the money.
She was literally begging on the Internet for people to help her.
How did she get in such debt?
She ran her credit cards up to the maximum. People from all over donated money so she could pay her credit cards off!
This lady did not have children who were hungry, her home was not being foreclosed, she did not have a horrible illness with hospital bills to pay..... she just had high credit card bills!
Incredibly, people still donated thousands to her cause.
She received donations from .05 cents to $500.00 during that period.
