I remember the Red Cross lady saying on the news that the Red Cross cards cannot be used to buy alcohol, tobacco, or firearms. But, of course they can just go to the ATM and get cash to buy these things.

Honestly, yeah I suppose they can spend the money however they want... But I would be bothered to think that my donation is going to help someone get smashed or possibly buying drugs. I don't think that is what any of us intend when we donate money.

It goes along with the story about some woman using her debit card to buy a Louis Vuitton purse.... I'm sorry, but that bothers me. Is there really nothing better that she could use that money for?

I'm not saying that people need to be TOLD what they can and can't spend this money on.... But is it too much to ask to show some consideration to the people who have donated their hard-earned money to help you rebuild your life?
