How dare a social media account exist without freebies?

This guy has posted this twice in a Facebook group for a community of less than 400 people. The same family has also just recently moved to the community, and are currently having issues within the community because their other son is making threats and harrassing underage girls. So these people who are new to the community are causing problems and now want to take advantage of the community. I personally feel like asking for $30,000 from such a small community is asking too much. That's a whole ass car. Guys also got a fairly new Bronco as his profile picture. Its pretty out of touch to be asking a small community for that much while flaunting a fairly new vehicle. And thats if its not just a scam. The fact that he stated a minimum cash donation amount is not doing him any favors. At least he lowered it from $10 to $5. At worse its a scam, at best it's incredibly out of touch.

The first photo is his first post, the second is the comments from the first post and the third is his second post.

I checked his fb profile and he’s going to college and posted about upgrading his pc setup

Not posting this to shame the OP at all. She was asking for help and that’s totally fair.

It’s the comment underneath that got me. People were giving her names of specific food banks, churches, etc. in her area, including places close enough to walk to since she said she has no transportation.

But apparently that doesn’t count as helping unless you’re personally buying her groceries, so everyone else should just “keep quiet.”
