Excellent advice, Bogdan.

He said, no, he didn't want to be a bother and I probably didn't want to be seen with him. I could just give him the money and he'd do it himself. I just shrugged and went inside.
I bought him some food along with mine, and went back outside to give it to him. He looked incredibly mad. He threw it in the trash and stomped off...

We are responsible for what these people will do with the money.
The money can be given for relevant organizations, which are honestly will be used to rescue the poor.
We do it every year.

Anyway she moved over here and into his house, they got married and after 2 years she suddenly wanted a divorce. As his wife of 2 years she was entitled to half of the house he'd spent his entire life paying for. He suspected she had met somebody else and that the whole thing had been a setup to get their hands on the money from his house.
It went to court and the guy was ordered to either pay his ex wife/ con artist half the value of the house or sell the house and split it that way. The guy went home and the very same night burnt the house to the ground! rather than give this con artist half of the money. He is now homeless and sleeps in skips and bus shelters. Every Time myself or family members see him we buy him a meal a give him some money, yes he buys alcohol with the money but I figure the guy needs a drink after all that.
I agree and it is converted now in profession too.jenniferatemple said:I ALWAYS CAUTION ABOUT INTERCONTINENTAL ROMANCE!!! Too many out there are just looking for any easy immigration pass! For heaven sake, don't make the relationship legally binding for at least 5 years. Few can hold up the pretense of love for the long distance run. I think it was foolish for him to destroy his own life to spite her. At least he would have had some start over cash and learned a stern lesson. Talk of "Cutting the nose to spite the face."
