Everything that has to do with being religious cost to much. Does every catholic church really need $200,000.00 worth of stained glass? Just because he is religious does not give him the right to always ask for money and its the same thing as the lazy cousin that doesn't have a job and lives with his parents. If he is going to do ask for money every year, tell him to setup a bank account that accepts anonymous donations. It is embarrassing to those being asked for money when being asked send a check to that person.<a href="http://www.medicalsupplyservices.com/medical-office-equipment.htm"> basspro12v</a> Yes I think it is too much.

It is not your responsibility. You could donate something if you'd like, but you shouldn't feel obligated.<a href="http://www.qualitylawnmower.com/lawn-mower-service.htm"> rebecca_n_austin</a> I think that if he going on some type of mission trip, that it should be paid for either by his church, or by himself.

A stranger sending a letter I can understand. But a brother in law? Come on! He can't get on the phone or face you when he wants to bum money. It sounds like he has some guilt about the question to begin with. The first thing I would wonder is how he is really using the money and how necessary this trip is.<a href="http://www.namingmybaby.com/baby-name-list.htm"> Mandy B</a> Something is wrong with this picture.

Those who feel moved to sponsor such things have the opportunity to with these letters. Those who do not feel moved to sponsor are not required to. You stated he was very religious. If you do not feel comfortable donating money, then mail him a letter of support containing prayers. A friend of mine gets quite a few letters like this. He mails them a journal so they may write of their journeys. He encourages his religious friends to write in their journals.

Is a second donation a bit much? I think the FIRST donation was a bit much. Graduation presents usually come from parents if anyone. Usually people don't go around hitting up their friends and relatives to pay for their hobbies. If everyone keeps going along with this, he's going to keep mooching off the family for the rest of his life. Why shouldn't he when it works so well?<a href="http://www.familylawmadeeasy.com/do-it-yourself-divorce.htm"> choko_canyon</a> He seems to think that his family and friends should finance his life.
