My friend loves money more than me!
I have to do this “AIDs Walk” for work. I have to raise money for pledges. Naturally I thought “wow! My friends can help pledge me!” I WAS WRONG. My best friend Rob of almost 3 years now told me to ask someone else for help because he isn’t giving me a red cent. Now, he is my best friend, because I never had one before… met him when I was 19… This made it even more difficult to swallow. This guy is not broke. This guy has lots of money, and asking for 10 dollars to raise funds for AIDS isn’t exactly taking out a student loan. I dunno, he’s such a good friend but he really takes me for granted. I would have sacrificed 10 dollars for something he was doing in a HEARTBEAT. I don’t understand what it means not to be generous. I could care less if I had a million dollars in the bank. I’ve got amazing friends! My other very very close friend of a year now whom Rob has known his whole life. Mike doesn’t even care to pledge me, and he is the LAST person I thought that cared about money. He’s professed to me on a regular basis how much he doesn’t care for money.
HOW HAS THE LOVE OF MONEY BECOME SUCH A ROOT OF SELFISHNESS EVEN IN THE HEARTS OF THE NICEST PEOPLE?
God! This pisses me off more than anything. This isn’t the first time I’ve felt like I’ve done everything for my friends and they’ve done nothing for me. In fact- this happens at least a few times a month. Is this normal!?

Look at it from a different point of view. You say that you have amazing friends, so there must be some good in them. Did they not want to support the charity or did they not want to support you? If they didn't want to support you, then they would never give you any money, even if you desperately needed it. That would be pretty lousy.
But you didn't tell them that the money is to support you, you said that it was to support a charity. I suspect that they would be fine supporting you, but not the charity. If you think that my suspicions are wrong, then yes you do have rubbish friends.
