I think we all would like to help out those in need.
Quite frankly, I don't think the "mob" is being mean-spirited, but rather being cautious. Without being cautious, the floodgates would open, and I'm sure that we'd be seeing more of these (most of which being those looking to take advantage rather than to truly get help).
Yes, there has been some scrutiny in this thread, but I don't feel anybody attempted to humiliate the OP. From advice to offers to buy cards, many of us have offered assistance without simply giving a handout. I didn't see anybody trying to take advantage of him by trying to buy his cards at fire-sale prices.
I'd be willing to bet that most of us have been in the same situation as the OP at one time or another. I'm sure there are others struggling at this very moment, and perhaps, facing a far worse situation than we have here.
If and when the OP chooses to post some items for sale, I'm sure he will generate more than enough money to help him get through this trying time. And like I said, if he doesn't want to sell his cards, I'd be more than happy to extend some freelance writing work his way.
