Like $$$, food, clothes, toys since she's a single mom with 14 kids, has no job, living off of government assistance (even though she denied it). Plus she has her own website asking for donations. What do you think?

I wouldn't donate any thing not even diapers to the children because that would just show that selfish mom the people are more than willing to support her children for her.

I think she would just think that if people sent diaper or any thing then she would spend the money the state gives her on what she wants and not for her children.



She says she know that once she's done school she will be able to support the children. Well why did she not wait to have the children?

Not to mention she thinks she will get a job as a counselor but I can't see how when she need a counselor herself because she's not mentally stable.



I do feel bad for all the children.

I pay taxes so I do donate!



I do however feel very sorry for all those children. I can't even begin to imagine 8 babies. (teething, colic, diaper changes). I do feel like she is a totally mooch of the system but if given the chance I would help out one of those poor kids. I think she will get a lot of Hand outs because as pissed off as everyone is (she seems to be the most hated women in America right now) Americans still do have big heart and do take care of our children here. Those poor kids and babies to have a nut for a mother and no father.

lol at JJ...gotta love it.

to answer the question, NO! I have MY OWN baby to look after, and am by no means financially stable right now. I feel she should donate something to me if anything lol, gosh i would love to just have govt money to spend on things like fuller lips lol.

I do feel bad for her little babies though, and i hope no1 takes it out on them their anger towards her bc it's not their fault.



actually i might do what green does/suggests. that seems fair. all my daughter's hand-me-downs i'd donate to her babies, but nothing for HER.

besides, she makes plenty of cash off uncle sam. and remember, she CHOSE to be a single mom, it's not like she got screwed over by some jerk and now is this single mom to all these kids, thats different. she deliberately got pregnant literally, and turned down the father when he wanted to marry her and parent the children together.

I think we should focus on the poor CHILDREN and get over the 'octo-mom.'



In answer to your question I would donate clothes or diapers to the CHILDREN I would not donate anything to the MOTHER.

I'm not sending her money. She gave birth to all those babies out of her own choice and if she wants money she should go out there and work like everyone else on the planet. And if she loves her kids she should find a decent job and not sit back thinking her fame is going to bring her fortune. I feel bad for the kids. She's embarrassing them and using them to get money.

I would donate diapers or stuff like that, And i would not be donating to her it would be for her children. I would never give money to someone like that. I would get gratification out of knowing at least I tried to help innocent little babies while their mother was too selfish and wanted to get more Botox or plastic surgery.

I think she should do it on her own just like the rest of us. I dont ask for hand-outs neither should she. Id rather donate my money to breast cancer awarness or march of dimes. At least I know my money is going to a good place and is helpful. I feel sorry for her children.But not for her and not enough to give her greedy butt money



-to your edit, I would donate diapers and make sure they were an open pack so she couldnt sell them or whatever, but then again on the streets you can sell anything so im not sure..

NO! I will not help somebody who is not willing to help themselves. I feel bad for those little babies and would be more than happy to help someone in need if I can, but I do have boundaries. The person I am helping has to want to stand on their own 2 feet at some point and making some effort to do it. I don't see anything but her wanting hand outs from the kindness of others and the government.

maybe some advice :



"stop f*ckin having kids if you cant afford them, there are working parents out there that still cant make ends meet because of medical bills, child support payments, grocery bills, etc. but since they work they are usually denied assistance because their income exeeds the guidelines. you get everything for free, i dont understand how you even paid for the IVF while living off unemployment/welfare, so what business do you have even accepting donations?"



that is what i would donate to her. and maybe a swift kick in the a s s

there are WAY better things to spend my money on and I do donate money and my time (before I had a baby) to needy causes but I will not donate to her. I guess in a way I've already have since we live in the same state (California) and I pay taxes so there it goes. California is a financial crisisa and all we need is 8 more kids to take care of. I'm sorry if it's a bit harsh but it's reality. She should never have that many kids not knowing how she will support them. She's been on govt assistance and haven't worked for years. It's selfish of her to do that. She's sick. She shouldn't have spent all her injury settlement on plastic surgery on her face and in vitro instead use it on her kids. I feel for her parents because they will have to raise her kids after raising her.

Is she going to spend the donated money on her babies or is she going to use it on in vitro or more plastic surgery? Please she is sick. The state needs to intervene! LOL yeah the californian are force to take one day off a week to help the budget crisis but yet this lady is getting food stamp, SSI, and is able to go out and have her nails done. It's going to cost between 1.5-3 million dollars for the birth and after care of her 8 babies. And she's getting paid 300K for her interview and 2 million to be on oprah. For what... it's already confirmed she is CRAZY, and selfish. I can't stand paying taxes to help people like that. it's makes me so sick!

Hell no...she already gets everyone's tax dollars.



Maybe I'd donate a voucher for day care, so then she could get out and get a job like everyone else has to do to pay for there children.

Her no, i would send stuff specifically for the children. They need it, not her. They didnt have the choice to live the life that they have set for them. I would send things like Diapers in several sizes, formula, clothes in several sizes, baby food, rice cereal, bottles and sippy cups, school supplies, etc. No money, nothing like bikes that she could sell for money for herself.

I'm already donating my tax dollars, isn't that enough? I live in the state of California, so I'm already paying for her children and probably somehow paid for all that plastic surgery she had done on her face to look like Angelina Jolie.



If I was to donate, I'd donate to someone in my own community and someone who really needed it for their family, and wasn't just looking for publicity.

idk

i think that woman is ridiculas. she should feel so ashamed of herself to do that to those kids. and how dare her do that then go and ask for donations! what the hell is wrong with her. she is so weird, she even looks creepy!



but then again its not the poor childrens fault they have a psycho mom.

i feel so bad for them.

like how are they ever going to afford college and stuff in their future?!



i think they need to be taken away from her right away

Absolutely NOT!!! She was coherent enough to decide to get pregnant even though she knew that she couldn't financially take care of them. She is the stupidest woman that I have ever seen and I feel so sorry for her children. She brought them into this world, SHE can take care of them. She has seriously big mental issues. She is addicted to pregnancy and needs to get over it!!

?
2009-02-13 22:57:40 UTC
no way.



i wish all the best to her but there is no way i am going to give my money or items to her.



she knew what she was doing when she had all those eggs implanted when she already had 6 kids and she deserves the financial consequences.
alasd

Of course. If you want good things to happen to you, you should do good to others, especially if they need it.
