This is appalling and speaks volumes about her sincerity and "good intentions". This is also exactly what's wrong with "foundations, charities, non
profits, and NGOs" these days being subsidized by tax dollars. It's bad enough when a private corporation is supporting it (although, believe me,
Candies is getting a hefty tax write off in the deal, plus free publicity) Sadly, this has existed for more than 50 years.
Regardless if what I, personally, think of the Palins, it's hard to single out Bristol Palin when there is rampant abuse throughout the entire system.
Imo, this isn't "giving" at all. It is exploitation for personal financial gain.
Becoming, maybe there is proof of Sarah Palin's involvement/ influence and maybe there isn't, but there can't be any doubt that Bristol is very young,
interested (only) in the things that kids her age are (naturally) interested in, and lacks the capacity to even come up with something like this.
Agree to it? Most people of any age would jump at the chance. Conceive of it on her own (no pun intended)? Highly unlikely.
If there's one thing Mama knows, it's how to get money.
