We've given money to a person that helps local refugees in our community. We know the person and have some degree of immediate knowledge of what our money has gone towards. I'd never give money to some random person on Facebook, no matter how tough their story is. Odds are they are on the make. My personal opinion is that you are probably on the make. It might be a flaw in my character but I've watched enough people get strung along by a good bit of story telling to use a good deal of caution when people have their hands out. Sorry if that offends you, hope you aren't getting taken and I hope you aren't pretending to be something you aren't to make a sleazy buck.
