Some people don't understand why someone would leave a big tip for a model etc when they could have sex with a live person for a certain amount. I think this video sums it up and i hope i can leave someone a fat tip one day myself!

That's just beautiful
Stories like that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside

She was so cute, her reaction was adorable. I hope to someday have the expendable cash to do something like this.

That's sweet. I may or may not have done a little cry :?

 

[KristinKervz]

That made my day

We've always said that if we won the lottery, we would do something like this once a week or so. It makes me ask myself why we don't save up right now to do it once a year and do what we can.

That's awesome! :-D According to their website (http://aaroncollins.org/) they have raised over $10,000 so far and plan on doing this once a week for as long as the donations last.

Wow did you read some of the comments on that page? Holy eff, some people are just so overly-opinionated in other people's lives and choices it blows my mind.

What I took from the negative comments were "omg, what a douche, he/they took other peoples' money and spent it on HIS wish, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah".

Shut the fuck up!

My faith is restored in humanity!

What if the $500 tip came with a dying wish for sex? :whistle:

It would be a bit too late.

Seriously... to the commentary some folks left on that page... bscene-birdiered: ...to all these neer-do-well opinionated assholes that slam this guys wish.. I hope you get fucked with a cactus. :angry4:
What business is it of theirs anyway? They are most likely broke ass do gooders that don't have shit. Run your own pitiful life, keep your mouth shut and leave everyone else alone.
I've told my boys what to do for a few very close friends should anything happen to me anytime soon..... It's nobody's business who or why. All that matters is that I want it done as a last gesture. GD busybody judgmental assholes minding other ppls business really pisses me off.

OK... rant over.

I read Aaron story a couple days ago. It really cool to see this.

 

[AllisonWilder]

Aww, such a sweet story. I'm a sap and this made me tear up! $500 is a lot of money for someone who works for tips!

that same website, less than 24 hours later, is reporting 28,000 donated
heh...pay it forward....sweet

I'm more impressed by the girl sharing the tip with the rest of the staff, as opposed to keeping that all to herself.

Here is tip #2. They are currently up to $44K donated.

Hate to be a debbie downer but the first post in this forum pretty much sums up how I feel as well about the subject.

Personally I would not donate, but whatever helps his family get through the grieving process.

unless they personally keep any of the monies collected for this cause then they can go rot in raw sewage as far as I am concerned.

Wait, suicide?

Wait, suicide?

The way he died should not factor into this at all. Who cares if it was suicide. The family is taking a very negative situation and turning it into something positive.

 

[SweepTheLeg]

Question- If he committed suicide BUT his family set up these websites and do fully continue to leave these "dying wish" tips from all the donations thus leading to a pay it forward type mentality, isn't it all good in the end?

I guess it all depends on how you look at it. If I misappropriate money under false pretenses but give the money to charity would every individual that donated be fine with it? That's up to each person to decide not you or I.

 

[SweepTheLeg]

But if he had wrote in his will or suicide note or where ever he did put his "dying wish" that this is what he wanted and his parents are trying to turn such a horrid event as their son deciding to commit suicide and do something positive with it, how is it a misappropriation? They may not have said he died by his own doing, but they never said he died by a terminal illness either- that was the people who feel duped who came to that conclusion all their own.

I have not donated any of my money to this, but to those who have as long as their donations are going towards what they intended the money to go towards then I fail to see what the big deal is.

Here is a comment I saw left by one of Aaron's family members on a message board:

"I think the media has played up the "last wish" part. This was not Seth's fault or any of the media's fault. The most thorough story was on CNN, and that article--the best researched and reported of all of them--did, in fact, mention that the evidence pointed to suicide by strangulation. However, that's not been concluded yet, and as with all ongoing investigations, it would be irresponsible of the family to comment much more than I have about the cause of death.

Even so, the wish was the final part of his Last Will and Testament, which he left for his family. It is, indeed, his last wish. And no matter how troubled Aaron may have been, it doesn't change the fact that in death he has still managed to accomplish something good."
