The fact that he's asking for $20 or $50 kinda makes me believe he doesn't even really know how much he actually needs and Barb is just telling him that they need more.
Kinda wondering what exactly they've spent more than $2,500 (Chris + Barb money) on in under a week. The tugboat, according to past Chris, makes it into his bank account on the 3rd of every month.
He's asking for donations 8, 9, and 10th. The fuck did they spend it all on in that short of a time frame?
We know he paid his court costs which was $541, which was on the 1st of July. While that's before his tugboat should have come in, maybe Barb's comes in on the 1st so they used that. Either way, that leaves a little under 2 grand for them to piss through in UNDER SEVEN DAYS.
Either Chris doesn't need the money that bad or some real fucked up shit is going down. Maybe the minimum is higher than they expected? Maybe the bills are way overdue and they had to pay them or risk getting shit turned off? I'm leaning towards Chris doesn't really need the money simply because he doesn't tell us what he wants it for. He's all too happy to say "we need money for my mom's meds", "we need food money", and "some unexpected bills came up and we're short this month"...but this time the excuses are completely absent.
