Giving Fatigue

Only two months into the new year, and I'm already tapped out on charitable contributions for a while.
Facebook has instituted an interesting new policy: they offer the opportunity for people to put up a post soliciting donations. This is a worthwhile endeavor to be sure, but the speed at which it's spreading through my friends list is somewhat alarming. At the high water mark (so far) I had 17 friends with charitable campaigns running on their pages in one week.

Sean Little I feel you here.
Everyone has a Patreon, GoFundMe, Kickstarter project now. I don't have money to support everyone and everything. It's getting epidemic.
All these ridiculous cash apps and shameless begging for coins. It's got to stop. People used to have humility.
I have no problem donating to causes, or supporting someone in dire straits, but man--everyone has an issue or a project. It's death by a thousand cuts.
