Maybe for normal folks, but not for a pro like MVD
The boy needs to make a sign and go out and panhandle outside a Walmart or highway exit.
It can prove to be an exciting new occupation, getting fresh air, sunshine and meeting lots of new people!!
Is there a wifi connection for Matt to still grift from? Asking for a friend.
So, Matt is still hustling, and a few spectators are trying to ring the village bell..

285. Except there's an unwell woman not getting food in this one, and nothing has
changed that situation in 18 months of GFM threads.
I'm glad to read the report that the social worker has finally entered the picture.
Yeah. But whos fault is that? Clearly the DUmps fault. The more you donate, the better the chances of her getting to eat. Matt has been very clear that the utilities are on the verge of being shut off. You dont want them to go without Electricity and Water. Not to mention, Ribeyes and Taters arent free. So pay the piper, and feel good about yourself for once.

288. But do we have confirmation of anything? At some point some concerned DUer is going to...
….attempt a meeting to deliver aid and comfort in person. They will do this in all sincerity. They should probably take a friend along.
I cannot predict the outcome — but there is a sad history at DU of certain persons taking advantage of the good-heartedness of the community, right up until it all falls apart. One involved attempted delivery of a laptop so the person could communicate with the world more effectively. One involved an attempt to shelter someone’s dear darling doggie for awhile so the owner could get on their feet — an animal that turned out to be huge and vicious. I mean, these were long, long sagas. And the sympathy and donations continued right up until someone attempted to intervene in real life.
Yes, I am concerned. Am I a “concern troll”? No, I am a 20-year member of DU.
All the best to everyone. I mean it.
Well, you win some, you lose some. What can you do? The best thing, just keep donating to Matt. GFM, or email him a Gift Card. No risky meeting needed. No worry of anyone ending up locked inside a human sized cage...

289. No. We don't. But that makes it even less humorous.
Humorous? Whats humorous about our poor Matty? A young boy, on the cusp of manhood. Autistic. Deaf. Myopic. Crippling Back Pain. Arthritic. And dont forget has Sleep Apnea. Taking care of his aging Momma. With only one functioning toilet in the house. AND ITS UPSTAIRS!
What kinda sick freak are you, Scrivener?

Oh dear. You have hit the nail on the head, and dont even know it.

297. Why the goal is important
- temporary transportation to an important doctor’s appointment for my mom Monday and transportation until the 28th
- haven’t made much progress on rides yet. But trying
- Uber and Lyft gift cards are also useful at this time
I want to close this but feel these matters are important.
He never gives up. Never.
