wayne, dont feel bad. find another family that is deserving, perhaps a single mom. i never feel good about donating just because of what you have experienced. before you think i/we are cold, we have been foster parents now for about 3 years, we have gone beyond that in trying to actually help the parents( that are trying to help themselves) of the kids. we even took in a homeless mother, got her in a rehab program, she just graduated the first part ( after much trouble) and is moving on the the next phase. we help people we know so we know where our efforts are going.
if you would like to help money wise, we know of a family that has spent all there money (250,000) on their daughters illness. the mother is donating one of her kidneys. my wife got one of our friends(that has worked for us) to open their small clothing store next to ours. the girl is working for gas money and clothes. they have to close the store a lot because they are out of town with the daughter. they back and forth to new york for the medical stuff.
i can encourage an invite and see what size TV they have. we still have CRT's
