Where I live we find a lot of white businessmen Hiring workless/homeless black people to steal for them. Pretty harsh.
It seems crime truly is a profession for some.

You know, Francois, that post of yours concerning the couple from Zim got me thinking... Yeah, i know there are plenty of locals who are having a tough time, but i can't help realizing that many in our neighbouring countries live in conditions far worse than we'll ever experience, d.v. It also made me realize that the Starfish Organization's motto of helping others one at a time is quite appropriate here, more so when one considers that although we would like to help everybody, realistically we cannot. We can, however, help one or two... So, with this in mind, how would you guys feel if we had a quick office-collection for that family? Francois could, if he agrees, maybe hand it over to them on our behalf? If you guys are in favour, i'll kick off with some moolla...

A kind gesture indeed.
However, when it comes to monetary donations like this, perhaps it would be best for those that wish to donate to PM Francois and take it from there.
That way no one here feels 'out' or pressurised if others are saying "I'm in"; and/or they may not be able to contribute, or perhaps have reservations for whatever reason.
Just my 2c-worth.

Helping out the couple is a kind gesture indeed,but how many of us are on this thread & if you think about it,how many are gonna donate.Not that l'm against the idea but l'm trying to be real.

I like what the wise amawanqa has said. I know i will not be able to donate anything in my situation without offering up the chance to see my other half first time in months. It is just one of those things. Two things worthy to mention, these people have only survived due to help from other people, and these people help others themselves. I think they will be fine with or without our help. But my big thing, try to do something positive, no matter what it is and to who. Do what you can, even if it is smiling at the ladies who work at the checkout at the local checkers, and making them smile. I make a point of always doing that.
