I just turned away a neighbor's kid who was doing fundraising for her school. My son is in a different school and I feel like I am writing fundraising checks every other week for his school. Also, I purposefully did not send him to the neighbors' homes for HIS fundraiser because I didn't want them to feel they HAD to give money. Times are tough. I feel so guilty for sending her away, but I simply don't have an extra $20 lying around right now.
