Out of work? I'll buy something!

Here's the deal. I am pretty new to Etsy. I don't have much feedback and I think having more would help my sales. After thinking about this, I've decided I need to do a little shopping. Additionally, I would love to buy something from someone who is out of work and really needing a hand. I am thankful that I do have a job. (Even if it is just teaching school and the salary isn't great,) I have enough to share.
I definitely believe in charitable giving but rewarding someone for hard work is even better. That is the American Way and the foundation of the free enterprise system.
I hope others will join me. Tell us if you need some help. I can't wait to shop!

I'm not out of work or anything like that, I'm not here to make a sale, just wanted to tell you that what you're doing is pretty cool. Thumbs up! I hope you find some ppl who genuinely need a sale. Have a great day!

Well, I am not working because I was hoping to make etsy a full time job! So far it hasn't happened but I am hoping one day it will! Please feel free to take a look at my shop. :)

I appreciate your generosity, but you've just opened up the door to more sob stories than any human should have to endure.
I suggest you just go browse around and find something you like and buy it, I can guarantee you that whomever is the recipient of your sale needs it and will appreciate it.
