Day 103: $15 for a 5K run for Young Life

I donated $15 today to one of my students who is raising money to attend a Young Life camp this summer. This student kind of caught me off-guard, but at the same time I was happy to do this for him. I would much rather see a student do something to earn money (even if it is join a race) than just ask for money.  I've had students ask for money to attend mission trips in the past, and I have felt uncomfortable and even slightly offended. What would happen if I went around asking people to donate to my vacation?
