My Christmas of No Gratitude Story: a few years back I decided to fun raise for a family that had a child with a serious medical condition during a Christmas time conference for government workers. With the approval of the Assistant Deputy Minister I hit up many of the attendees to help pay for incidental medical costs: trips to Vancouver Children's Hospital, food, parking, etc. They lived outside of the city and the costs to get to hospital were real. 

When the time came for me to send the $850 I raised to the recipient, they emailed me back and asked me why there wasn't more money there? They obviously expected more.  I didn't even know these people and did not even have to do this.

No good deed goes unpunished sometimes, so I learned my lesson. 

Has something like this happened to you?
