You know what, I have children. And if they had gone through 5 days of hell - seeing dead people float by, watching people die in front of them, bleeding women having miscarriages - but still standing in bus lines afraid they'd loose their places, no bathroom facilities, no food, water, etc... then I might have thought to take them this one time to a restaurant so that they can have some feeling of normalcy again. And may have to apologize to the waiter for not having the $$ to tip right now (even though I would hope that he'd have the decency not to expect one...). I don't know if there were children there, if this was the case or if they were tactful, embarrassed, or whatever. Perhaps they were tactless in how they did it. We all can think - the best thing would be to spend the $$ in a more thrifty way, but after a terrible experience like that people respond in different ways. The point is - once you donate - just be happy in your own heart that you know that you did what you thought was best. If you don't have $$$ to contribute, or feel like someone will abuse it - donate items instead.
