Mrs. Nou Lee or Niam Nus Lis is the youtuber that introduce the young couple to us and we fundraised for them. She's the one who brought them the fundraising money. Anyway, she messaged me, this is what she said:
"Nyob zoo thiab os niam laus kuv muaj kev txom nyem e kuv xav thov nej cov phoojywg txhua Tus pab me ntsis rau kuv pua tau os (Hello older sister. I am very poor and I would like to ask you and your friends to help me, is that possible (can you?)
tus Kwv yuav poj niam yuav noj tshoob kev mus noj pem keev khuam noj tshoob loj muaj npav no e kuv los txom nyem g muaj nyiaj txau li xav thov nej sawv daw pab kuv ib zaug os niam laus
(My younger brother in law got married and will be having his wedding in Xieng Khoung, a big wedding and I am poor not enough money would like to ask everyone to help once older sister)"
Sorry for my bad translation
I could give so many reasons to avoiding helping:
you don't have money why have such a big wedding?
Yes you are trying to scam me..
Am that gullable? Am I stupid?
on and on and on.....
But I try not to think like that. If I did, we wouldn't fundraised for the young couple. We wouldn't give to the school supplies funds. We'll come up w/ tons of reasons NO.
FYI, I do not know her and I do not know if her brother in law is indeed married and will be holding a big wedding. BUT, I do know this much. She is poor, is struggling like many folks in her community. If she scams me or us, it's because she's poor so I won't hold that against her. But, I do not think she is a scammer. If she is, that young couple would not see the funds we send them. She and her family are good people.
Here is a video of her:

I'm as broke as all of you. In fact, more broke than some of you. However, skipping coffee once a week will not make me a wealthy woman or make me broke but it'll do so much good. That's all....
For anyone interested in helping Ms. Num Lis, I created this gofundme:

Thanks.
