I volunteer a lot. I have seen lots of people get burned. I have also seen stubborn people who refuse to be helped. I've seen stubborn parents who don't take care of their kids and demand that a nonprofit take care of them. Because its their right to be a shitty parent. I've seen people eat their way into diabetes because how dare someone tell them to ea a certain way. Literally seen them do this. And I have spent hours raising money and know how hard it is. I've seen enough to believe that free will has turned into, in many cases, a bullheaded excuse to not take self accountability.
Thing is, I know people donating to these causes want to do the right thing. The problem is they don't realize tha in many cases, they're not donating to what they think they're donating to. So it's not even about being free to spend however you want. It's about making sure they start spending on what they think they're spending on.
