They're legit. But I definitely appreciate your concern, and often share in your hesitancy. Nie's situation actually started out with prayer requests, and only later (after many blogger emails) was opened to accept donations and run fundraisers.Jainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05666481569069955190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-86504974154598251042008-10-02T15:26:00.000-07:002008-10-02T15:26:00.000-07:00Jaina,I guess I am the only one who would think tw...Jaina,<BR/><BR/>I guess I am the only one who would think twice before I would give any money to these people.<BR/><BR/> There are so many scams going on in the world today, and on the internet. Many know if they include the religious end of the scam for some reason people will donate without looking into whatever it is all about. <BR/><BR/>May I ask if you know these people personally, or only through the internet?<BR/><BR/> If it is a scam, they can make it sound very sincere and tug at your heart strings. The more severe the injuries the more they hope you will want to give. So all I can say for now is be careful. Sometimes things are not always what they appear to be.<BR/><BR/> But nothing wrong with prayer, so for now say a prayer that they can recover and cope with whatever they have to face now and in the future.<BR/><BR/>There I go on my soapbox again.<BR/><BR/>I hope I don't sound like a cold- hearted person, but a conscientious person who cares about my friends and neighbors.<BR/><BR/>Ann Gigi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092019687497845746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-10451198981597868032008-10-02T14:14:00.000-07:002008-10-02T14:14:00.000-07:00Kim- I couldn't agree more.
