Thanks for posting this Azizi, althought viewing it made me feel physically sick at the self righteousness of this twit, and the stupidity of the audience who applauded. Neighbors might be able to bring over a casserole, help this woman by running a few errands, etc. but how are they going to provide the therapy that her husband needs????   Not long ago I participated in a fund raiser for the parents of a four year old girl who has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. In addition to the worry and anguish about their little girl, who is terribly ill, they don't know how they are going to cope with the thousands of dollars in bills that are piling up - for co-pays, medications, etc. not covered by their insurance. We performed at a neighborhood mini carnival and raised a paltry $300. It will help a little bit, but how many fundraisers can be organized when we are talking about thousands of dollars. And why should people have to beg for charity when they or a family member are faced with a devastating illness?   Rarely does a week go by without an announcement in the local paper about a fundraiser, bowl-a-thon, spaghetti dinner, marathon walk etc. to benefit someone whose family risks being bankrupted by the costs of an illness. Neighbors and friends should be there to provide comfort and emotional support, not physical therapy, skilled nursing care, and financing for medical procedures.
