It shouldn't dissuade anyone from doing good works just because one person out of the batch is not only unappreciative, but spiteful.Hopefully the neighborhood won't resort to any spiteful tactics themselves. The best thing is to just LEAVE THAT FAMILY ALONE like the plague. The truly saintly might keep an eye out and still offer to help them if they ever got in a tight spot in the future (because people who stir up that much trouble always DO), but then I probably wouldn't be that charitable.I enjoyed the part about the radio station raising money, though. It shows that the community at large recognizes the situation. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Nah, just the jumpy people. That husband doesn't sound like he's winning friends and influencing people, either.</blockquote>
