Alternate headline: slave donates to those worse off
Orphan Crushing Machine
A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

I worked for a short time doing door-to-door solicitations for charity. The people in struggling neighborhoods were always more generous than people in rich neighborhoods. Mostly, just like no question, "oh yeah that sucks here's $20 if you're gonna use it to make things better, that's worth it to me." It's like when you get money you start to lose touch with what matters and what doesn't.
That's me except that I'm not in a poor neighborhood (firmly lower middle to regular middle class).
I've been poor, I've been hungry. Now that I'm not broke, I donate to causes and I buy food for anyone begging outside a grocery/convenience store. No one should be hungry for more than a few hours. No one should have to worry if they can buy diapers for their baby or food for their pet.
I want to cross post this to uplifting news, but It seems like I am not well liked there. Anyone willing to?
It is not uplifting tho
Have you seen what they have on there for "uplifting" news. This fits great
