I agree with everything that has been posted so far. For some reason, this is a "hot button" issue with me. I have never liked the idea of forking over cash for someone's living expenses with the idea that, in the event of a change of plan, we would be kissing our money goodbye. We don't have the financial reserves for that kind of assistance. I do believe in finding emom's the help that they need through public and private agencies. It feels to me like giving cash assistance is just leaving yourself open for fraud and accusations of coercion later on. I don't judge those that do help but I can tell you it's just not for me.
