They don't have to like write these beautiful flowery sentences about their kid.

You know, like they can just say,

Here's my kid.

He's going through this.

If you want to send him Legos, like here's the address or whatever.

Like that should be okay.

You know, like it shouldn't be the end of the world.

But I would get emails from people saying, okay, I know that Jeremiah has cancer, but Jeremiah's mother has asked for toys three times this month.

And I just think that that's too much.

And I think you should write about it on the blog.

And I was like, there is nothing in my personality that is enforcement of any kind.

You know, like I don't want to be the internet police.

I don't want to be harassing a family that has a child that's sick, you know, that are trying to make their child smile like a little bit, you know?

So it became, it was like a lot like that.

And just people, so when I wouldn't write about it, um,

It got to the point where people would, like, start these Reddit groups that were just, like, Jeremiah's mother is asking for this.

Like, oh, she had a foreclosure 22 years ago.

And, oh, she was bankrupt seven years ago.

She's definitely in.

She floated a check, like, four years ago.
