This person's plea for help could _easily_ be a hoax and could end up
making some con artist a rich man with our money. This is the whole
reason people are counter-posting on his message. We are attempting to
warn others that this might be a hoax.
My message is this: Just say no to this kind of "charity". You don't
necessarily know where your money is going, and if this person really
does need money, there are better, more official channels he can utilize
to accomplish his goal of raising money. Don't trust the Internet. It
is full of eager scam artists attempting to relieve you of your money.
But, if you do want to help in this manner, _verify_ the information
before believing it.
This has been my personal 2 cents worth.
