Donating $500 and acting like you paid off a new library wing is wild.

u/BoulderMaker 4d ago

I'm told a man named Michael Scott paid for a student's computer battery? 🪫

So there's that...

u/Getoff-my_8allz 4d ago

Hey those batteries were lithium and he brought one for each of the class. Even fictional characters donate more then this chick.

u/BulkyDecipherer 4d ago

The difference being a) Michael wasn’t doing it for internet points, but because he sincerely wanted to help those kids, b) Michael wasn’t a millionaire (he was more broke than when he made the promise).

u/RapMastaC1 4d ago

Right where my head went

u/GOURMANDIZER 4d ago

I had to rewind and count the zeros 🤣
$500 is a crazy amount to write on a novelty giant check and have a ceremony about.

u/Amanda316 3d ago

Probably the minimum they would do a big check for. Adding the .00 at the end to make it look bigger is crazy.

u/Undrwtrbsktwvr 3d ago

A big check is just a prop-piece of cardboard, You can have one printed for a half-penny if you wanted.

I was about to say, maybe I’m the asshole but $500 ain’t shit these days. That being said, depending on the context like sure it’s great they donated but I get the sense that’s being generous given how much of it just looks like a photo op.

u/BulkyDecipherer 4d ago

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

$5,000, okay. But $500? Seriously?

u/Amanda316 3d ago

That’s why she added the extra .00’s at the end to look bigger.

This has to be a skit, right?

A grown adult woman couldn’t possibly think throwing herself a celebration over donating $500 is appropriate, right?

u/cm2460 3d ago

So I have a short track car we do local dirt oval racing with. Pretty much every end of season / memorial / Holliday weekend race is a ā€œbig dealā€ now so everyone gets these checks, except the 4 bangers are racing for like $150 bucks lol

Presumably because she’s not spayed? $600 is a lot less than it’ll cost the shelter when they have to fix the unwanted puppies when your intact dog roams and gets pregnant by the local pitbull/chihuahua. I get it sucks but it should be expensive for people to keep their dogs unfixed if they can’t keep it contained.

u/Wizzle_Pizzle_420 4d ago

I donated $500 to a cat rescue, didn’t tell anybody until now, ate some pizza, read a book and went to sleep. There should be an internet challenge where you have to do something really nice anonymously and never tell anybody about it. That would break these charity posers minds. Bet they couldn’t do it.

A one time donation of $500 should not be enough to buy you the opportunity to a speak into a microphone in front of these children. Do not waste everyone’s time so you can LARP as a princess.

If she had pledged a donation of $50 a month for only a year and some of her time without the cameras, she would’ve donated more overall and made more of a difference.
