Lol calm down a bit. This program was poorly run, it's the governments fault for not auditing them properly, and they shouldn't be given money ever again.

But there are plenty of youth programs in Philly doing amazing work that DESPERATELY need money to function because they serve low income populations and the only way to feasibly make enough money to run/pay staff is through grants.

$13k is also the total, not per kid. Not defending the program but at least get the facts right. Usually programs like this give 50-100 to the kids for completing as an incentive, maybe more. If it were 13k per kid that'd be like the entire budget for 15 kids alone no programming costs or admin.

This place was wild. I picked up a friend from out of town there once, because he was nearby and needed a place to rest while he waited for me. I don't think I'd ever driven in there before, it looked like it'd been bombed (there were craters in the parking lot I had to swerve around).

The faucet to the bathroom was just like, running, you couldn't shut it off. The door didn't close, it didn't have a doorknob it was just a hole.

The manager was talking to the staff huddled in a circle about something like not stealing or some shit. They kind of looked at me as I walked past and then didn't say anything.

It was probably one of the only places I've been in where if I went in to order food I'd leave because I knew it was going to either be absolutely inedible in some way or another.

RIP tho.
