I don't mean to condemn you but you make it hard for those of us that really COULD use donations or whatever to help us out. I would never think of taking money from someone regardless of my situation. I have recently been diagnosed with this problem and am scared to death. My husband and I have started our own business and are still in our first year and so money is tight, but never would I beg for money from strangers OR friends to spend on crap. It is good that you are thinking about making amends, but maybe you should skip Mcdonalds and send them money instead. Sending $5 to repay them would not be as offensive as not sending anything at all and just thinking about it. I hope that you are well and am sorry that you have this problem. It sucks. But don't let a disease or illness help you rob a fellow human. Charly
