How many times do we hear or read about "scams", this could be one if you read about her asking all the time for 'free' items. We have been fortunate to be taught to acknowledge a gift, but do not expect one should you give freely. Crazy, yes, but very sad....you gave with your heart, and one day your giving will be returned to you in some way. God loves those who give, and ask nothing in return, He will take care of you. I thank you for wanting to take the time to help this person, do not feel anger, it only makes you feel sad, "we" here on the board thank you.

I'll tell you thank you. Thank you so much for using freecycle and providing folks with goods. It's very thoughtful to help out strangers. I suppose every once in a while someone will take advantage of your generosity. Just try to remember all the kind folks who took a second to say thanks.

I rarely hear a thank you so I can relate. :0)

I know exactly what you mean, this has often happened to me over the years, when I have sent money and presents to family members and friends on birthdays, wedding, christenings and Christmas, not even a word of thanks in return, we are human and it is in our nature to be hurt when we do nice things for people and they don't even say thanks. I put it down to ignorance and bad manners on their part. Having said that there are many people who are very grateful for even the smallest gift, so we must keep giving, it's what God wants us to do, and He will make sure we get back ten fold.

It was a lovely thing you did, you will be blessed in other ways. God Bless !

Try to look at it as a gift to yourself.You've received the gift of giving with a happy heart.We can't change other ppl, but we can accept the gifts we give ourselves.You did good!

I would have been thankful and sent a note or at least a PM.

Thank you everyone for making me know that I did the right thing. Your comments have, as always, meant alot to me.

Yes, she should have said thank you. I have no idea why it seems so many people are ungrateful. I've had similar experiences, and it makes me not want to help out people.

I'm sorry you had no response to your generosity. I had someone give me trash bags full of their scraps. I took her out to breakfast later, we became friends and she helped me begin my quilting journey.

I woud have been a little hurt also, and like you, would do it again in a heartbeat. Let me thank you for her, it was a generous and thoughtful thing to do in her time of need.
Thank you, thank you, from someone who hopes to never be in that position
