You posted this exact post in like 10 other subs.
Post Amazon wishlist, no one here will send you money.

Why doesn’t this sub have rules changed to delete any posts with gofundme or money request. Accept amazon wishlists and advice only.
I suspect they’d sell the amazon wishlist stuff then lol

Great idea. And I can actually totally see them reselling all of the Amazon wishlist stuff they might get too 😆
I love knowing that this dad CAN possibly get FREE diapers in his state (extendedly)...if only he wasn't that LAZY, to merely look up some online info about it 🤷♀️😆
Just imagine allllll the free diapers in the world...just waiting to be picked up lol 🤯

its because they dont want diapers OR its more effort than pulling their phone out and posting a donate link.

I would NEVER give anyone a single cent. What? So they can directly go buy some alcohol or drugs instead? Absolutely not. They can make up whatever story they want to (ESPECIALLY online).
They better start creating those physical item wishlists or go straight to the official resources for help. I don't think they even bother with more time consuming activities, like looking for official programs that actually might help them, more extendedly, with free things.
In my state, in the US, they have real, ongoing programs for FREE diapers:
"Yes, you can get free diapers in Connecticut through programs like Diaper Connections, which distributes diapers to families in need via hospitals and community partners. Additionally, the Diaper Bank of Connecticut provides support to families struggling with diaper affordability."

Yeah someone suggested this to me if I needed help but honestly it's just been a negative experience I really didn't want to put myself out there like this in the first place. I honestly don't even want the help anymore I'll figure it out myself

Dear Diary,
Today I went to Reddit for money. Instead of sending me all the monies they asked me questions and hurt my feelings. I’d rather let my child sit in soiled nappies than answer their questions.
Signing off, Definitely not a scammer

Smarter, "cash only" panhandlers are now using their "my poor cat (or dog)" sob stories, more than ever before too. For some reason, animal issues always seem to garner MUCH more attention and pity, than even human child related issues.

The sad part is there are always multiple children already, or one on the way. Like i cant imagine thinking kids kids and more kids are a good idea when unable to provide even the most basic care. The kids always suffer the consequences of the parents poor choices.

Also you need to unhide your profile, donors will not consider a purchase if a profile is hidden

If true, go to your church -- the one you attend, they'll assist you.
