A bar / coffee house that I like a lot (I used to work on their tables with my notebook when I was a freelancer) is having a GoFundMe to pay for rent, claiming they will be out of the building in the end of the year if they don't pay. I like the place and the owner, but I feel weird giving money to a for-profit organization, that faces a problem that obviously won't be solve with this short-term solution? What would you do?
("funny" story, on another night I found the owner of the bar at night on the neighborhood, he was looking for a place open for dinner, somewhere cheap but obviously not cheaper than cooking home, than he tell me that he haven't own a refrigerator for a year! so he eats everything out in cheap places, claiming he don't have money to purchase one. Then he admits he would have save money on food if he had bought the refrigerator a year ago. He is not someone so poor that don't have access to credit to buy something, and we live in an area packed with college students in tiny apartments constantly buying or selling house stuff when they finish college... sigh)
