From user sachalamp Doing some research into this as I find it quite worrisome that a video with no references/proof makes it to frontpage and nets 25k in donations in a couple of hours. Map showing distance (0.5 miles, 10 minutes walking distance) from the house mentioned in the video (1853 Kinney Avenue) to the nearest community center (http://www.cincyrec.org/search/facility.aspx?id=45 ): https://www.google.ro/maps/dir/39.1362405,-84.4698566/1853+Kinney+Ave,+Cincinnati,+OH+45207,+Statele+Unite+ale+Americii/39.1365553,-84.4758118/@39.1363932,-84.4714534,846m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m10!4m9!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x8841b2456295e163:0x6355084bc8ff1349!2m2!1d-84.4697039!2d39.135926!1m0!3e2 http://i.imgur.com/IrzpQNN.jpg A community center that has the following amenities available: Computer Center - Fitness Center - Free Parking - Game Room - Gym - Jogging Trail - Kitchen - Meeting Room - Playground - Shallow Pool at the cost of: 2015 Annual Membership Fees Juniors (17 & younger) $2 All Centers Adults (18-49) $25 All Centers Seniors (50+) $10 All Centers Fitness Center $10/Quarter $35/Annual $5/Day So you're pretty much spending money to allegedly turn this house into something that resembles and has the functionality of this center, that's 0.5 miles away. It makes absolutely no sense. You know nothing about the guy, you don't even know if those wounds are real or not and you don't know if his story checks out or not, you don't know his intentions other than what you're being presented in an emotional way(which is what gets gullible people in the first place). As a fun fact, according to his facebook page (EDITED TO REMOVE NAME http://i.imgur.com/5hTYRoC.jpg) : University of the Arts, 2008 to 2012 · Philadelphia, Pennsylvania School for Creative and Performing Arts, Class of 2008 · Cincinnati, Ohio So he could pretty much be an actor performing, this could be a charity fraud and you're swallowing it hook line and sinker.
