Becoming a certified paramedic and serving in USMC are very difficult and challenging things to do. I wonder what went wrong with his life. I’d guess drugs.

That’s way too much money for one person. I hope she donates most of it to a good charity with very low overhead or maybe to a specific shelter.

How are such donations handled from a legal and tax perspective? Does somebody have to declare it as income and pay tax on it? Does person setting up the account have to become a certified non-profit to receive the money? Or can the person direct the money to an already extant non-profit?

That's a disgusting comment although typical in gossip. This is not a tea among hens in a homeowners' association.

One of those girls is not like the other. One is easy. The other is difficult.

On the news, the reporter said that he moved to the area for a job. The job fell through. With no money to pay the rent, he ended up on the street. One day led to another and another and another.

Seems he was just a victim of circumstances. Could happen to anyone of us especially if one is solo.
