Today was meant to be a day of chilling. I’m done with my last job, and I’ve
not yet officially started my new job. I was trying to have a short
vacation, because I don’t know how crazy and hectic things are going to be.
The facilities staff at the jail are working to get a workspace available to
me for Monday. Hopefully they will not have worked too hard at it, because
I’m sure I’ll be recovered enough to handle much of it myself. I really
wanna get in there, and find and execute my own vision, since I know they
have plenty of other work that they need to be worried about. That’s why I
wanted to rest for the rest of the week, so I could be prepared for that.
Unfortunately, my stress levels are through the roof. When you set up a
charity campaign in CauseTogether.hope, there are a number of ways that you
can format it. There can be an end date, or not. You can target a specific
figure, and refund everyone’s money if it’s not reached, or only refund them
if a given percentage of the goal isn’t received, which could be as low as
0%. They can even place a maximum amount, which when reached, will instantly
close off all further donations. This should all be told to you upfront on
the campaign’s page, so if you run across one that doesn’t divulge what
they’ll be doing with your money, or under what circumstances they’ll charge
you, report that to the administrators, because that goes against their
policy. Anyway, for the campaign that an anonymous stranger set up to pay
for my medical bills, they set a min/max of $50,000 with no target date in
mind. Why is that number so high? Gee, maybe it has something to do with the
fact that the person who did this “on my behalf” doesn’t know me, nor my
financial situation. They don’t even know how much my total medical bills
are. I wasn’t planning on telling you this, but after insurance, I was only
going to have to pay roughly $14,000. I have really good insurance, because
the company I work for has really good insurance options.
The CT campaign has ended, because they reached their goal in a matter of
days, but I don’t plan on taking a single cent from it for myself. The only
reason they reached this absurdly high goal was because I threatened to give
the money to an incarcerated serial killer. I don’t think I was ever going
to do that. I’ve not even researched who that might be, because I hoped that
this remark would spell the end of it. It didn’t occur to me that some
donors might give specifically to see that happen. What can a person serving
life in prison do with all that money? Give it to corrupt guards so he can
get a flatscreen TV, and a king-size bed in his own private cell? I really
don’t know, and I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’m fighting the
Cause Captain who is still anonymous, and asking for—nay, demanding—my
banking information so that they can transfer the money to me. My lawyer
says that they would have ways of sneaking me the funds even without my
permission. Even though I could theoretically just leave that 50K sitting
there in whatever account they ended up creating, people did sacrifice their
money, even if it was for all the wrong reasons, so something should
probably be done with it. I don’t know what. All I know is that I’m not
taking it. My therapist advised me to not get so worked up about it. The
deed is done, and I don’t have the power to refund the Cause Champions. I
really should donate it to some other charity. Hit me up if you have ideas,
I guess. Again, it’s 50,000, so it doesn’t have to only be one charity, if
you guys send me multiple good ideas.
