I was chatting like normal at wireclub and then I asked anyone for a dollar to help with gas. I got lots of nos but some people asked me about my life. I talked about my care providing career. I started to tell them about rent and the years spent sinking money into a place when all you want is to move. I made some friends even though no one could help. And it all happened because I asked for a dollar.

    I'll PayPal you a dollar just to prove that there are decent people in the universe.

      If you're serious I feel honored, and thank you so very much. I'm not sure if pasting it would be against the rules though... I could tell you my number and then delete the comment.

    Were they people you know? Were you the driver? If the answer is yes to either one then bad on them.

    If thus was an online site I can see why. You'd be a rich man if everyone you asked on an Internet site for a dollar and they actually sent it to you. :)

    I thought the same thing and it was so nice to see the reply that you got! I'm not asking but I went from riches to rags! I gave away 3 cars and 1 truck, paid half to get a lady a mobile home after hers burnt down and gave away many many thousands of dollars. How many people even ask how I am now that I'm sick, in projects and broke ZERO! Bless you!

      I guess they didn't feel like it.

    Totally would've given you a buck. Sucks that you have that situation. You didn't ask for a whole lot, so I think there's no harm in it.

      Thank you for your view on this, it feels awkward when you have to ask for help.

    But I'm not posting my email address publicly on this site... And seeing as you reply anonymously, not sure you'd wanna do that either.

    I now understand wire club is an online site and not a physical club... I was pretty confused. Lots of people ask for money on the internet though... There are sites like gofundme where you you don't even need to have a real purpose to ask for money... If I agreed to give you a dollar how would I go about getting you the dollar?

    Who asks a group of strangers for a single dollar to help with gas? Unless it wasn't a group of strangers, but then you go on to say people asked about your life, so I assume....

      I was hoping that at least 10 people would help, but I realize that in this economy a lot of people have the same issues.
