Yes, remember the Clinton Legal fund??
Yes, it is legal but make sure you have some accountability in place. For example, have a third party control access to the funds and the distribution. Someone very trustworthy obviously. But it shouldn’t be you or the person who you are trying to help.
Hey- we are in a recession- it is the holidays- people are losing jobs- sorry for your problems but it is a tough time for people now-good luck.
begging is not illegal. Fraud is illegal, but if you tell people that you want them to give you money to advance your own personal interests, not for any charitable purpose, you should be fine. Maybe someone will send you a buck.
