I didn't give Bridwell money, why should I. He has every opportunity to get a job and work.
The only people I give money to are Gordo, because he is hard working and let me stay at his house a million times.
Flanders , because of unfortunate health problems.
Ament, for the same...
I've raised over 15k in the last two years for the Lone Survivor Foundation, for Navy Seals back from the war (with PTSD) to get back on their feet.
I don't have tons of money, but a big heart to a fault sometimes.
I've also rescue 5 dogs and raised about 12k for the JT No Kill, dog rescue.
These guys in perfect health, holding cyber sign, begging for money from strangers, are no different from a pan handler, way out on drugs and booze standing at a street light. But the guy on the street really needs legit help, much more than some hippy dude, living the dream in Indo.
I see now that this guy is not a scammer, and I stand corrected,.
I think a man should carry his own burden if healthy and the world has many more pressing problems worthy and deserving of are charity; than being in over (living beyond your means) your head and out right begging.
But you're right I don't need to click on this thread, and my advice is to get a 0 percent charge card and get your own dam dogs over here.

So if you want to help me with dogs here's what I need.
I really need a house with a large yard in the bay area so they
can have a place to roam. It can't be a rental either so I need to
buy a house to get a dog or two. But to do that I need down payment $,
way more than I have currently saved. Figure 20% down and 500k house
cost. Maybe the taco can help me raise half of the 100k I need.
Please help local american dogs!

It sounds to me like the OP (who I don't know but recognize from his posts on rc.com going back for years) is getting somewhat unexpectedly screwed by the Indonesian government--not sure how that's so different from unexpected health problems. (Yeah no one chooses health problems, but you can get a job and pay for health and disability insurance, right?)
I don't think anyone starts a climbing gym because they see it as a path to riches--they do it because they like climbing and want to contribute to a local climbing community, or perhaps try to establish one in this case.
We all have to carefully consider our charitable donations in these challenging economic times, but this one seems pretty legit to me. I probably won't contribute as I see shipping dogs across the globe as a bit of an unnecessary luxury. But there's no reason to hate on or mock this guy, just add his to the 99.99% of charitable causes to which you won't contribute.

I wonder what would have happened if he had just decided to keep his mouth shut and because of whatever reasons could not afford to bring the dogs and he found a home for them, but then found out after he was here in the states that the people he gave them to lost there job and put the dogs in a shelter and they were killed.
Then he writes a note in the dog thread saying good-bye as he had to leave his dogs because he just couldn't afford to bring them to the states.
I wonder how many would say.. Hey.. why didn't you say something. I would have pitched in.
I wonder how many of these nay sayers might have even pitched in a 20.
Just wondering folks. Thats all.

Good luck getting the dogs to the US.
The donation link you provided does not update the amounts you have already collected. How much will it cost and how much have you received so far?

If this guy has collected 17k and is still posting this stuff, that should be a heads up to all thinking people with a half a brain.
1. So, Emmon, how much money do you need for your dogs?
2. How much have you collected?
3. What are your estimated cost of dog import?

Well hell if it's gonna be like that;
I had some hard luck here and there, and spent my youth spending (hehehe). Now I'm a little short for retirement. I don't have cute rugrats to show, I don't have a spouse half my age, and I'm currently petless, but if someone wants to help me set up a webpage and paypal, I'll take some money too please.

I just donated, not a lot but some to help these dogs and people out. When you donate it shows you a running total and it was at $18,475 at almost 4PM. Looking good!

Look if this cat's got 18 k from this scam, and he got Jan, who is an Angel in my book, to respond, he is the worst of the worst scum.
If Chris Mac doesn't respond to crap like this; he needs to pay more attention.
People abusing charities are the world's lowest forums' of scums.
If this doesn't bother you Brandon-or many of the folks-more internet savvy than me, what does???
EDIT, yes pun intended, for anyone left in the world with a brain.

coz - you need to pay more attention. And not to locker.... again.... ever. You've been trolled and it's kinda sad to watch.
Jebus: I thought you were simply pointing out that locker is full of his typical sh#t and trolling.
where does $17K come from?
Looks like ten bucks to me.
edit: edit: yup, got it. got it! lol!
