She's not exactly a struggling mother who needs the money to make her child's dream come true. She could probably stretch to a laptop or even a 100 of them. Is this meant to be educational? For whom?
There are quite a few projects by people who do actually need the money to have a chance for their dreams to come true.
- Mahn 14y agoWell, some people just like money. I don't think you'll be able to find another justification sadly. Not sure how come she raised 7k.
- pstack 14y ago$20k. And still no meaningful update: Re, a video proving these are real people and not some guy in his basement using images he found on google. Also no discussion whatsoever as to what they intend to do with the additional funding (with physical goods, the funding would generally scale up with the cost while in other projects, the greater funding generally allows for a scaled-up project. I don't expect that's reasonable for a 9 year old who has never programmed or designed a thing, so I'm really interested to find what will be done with the extra $19k and how it will adhere to Kickstarter's policies).
- RobertHoudin 14y agoExactly. This woman was named by FORTUNE as one of the ten most powerful female entrepreneurs. There are literally billions of children who desperately need money for food, medical treatment and education, but this woman needs $10,000 for her daughter to buy a laptop?
