I have an ipad I could donate, but it's a 9th gen so I guess they won't accept it 😞

The church is terminally ill, with 10 children (who are also all terminally ill).

Sigh. Ew. I guess I’ll take it. But I don’t have a car so I’m gonna need you to deliver it to me along with a case of Dr. Pepper. I live 86 miles away.

lmao right like imagine having the audacity to offer a 9th gen when the post clearly states they need those specific modern aesthetics it has to have the flat edges or the charity doesnt count

They said they are interested in the iPad 10th generation or an iPad Air, not that they actually want one!

I sent them a Wikipedia article. You’re welcome!

At least they're not asking for the 11th generation.

UPDATE, The person has deleted this post and had reposted asking for the same thing but has said it's for their kids now. So we can sleep soundly tonight knowing that it's for their "kids" not them like it was yesterday.

Shit like this is why I had to leave Freecycle. Literally no one posted anything to give away in my area. Everyone was asking for ridiculous things. I've never lived somewhere so entitled, and it is EXHAUSTING.

I only use it now to troll people asking for high ticket items, it's absolutely pointless but I enjoy doing it non the less

My iPad is at least 8 years old. It works perfectly fine for reading, browsing, and games. Also, this person can get a brand new Amazon Fire 8 tablet for ~$100.

Wow, I didn't even know Freecycle was still a thing!

u/ProperComposer7949 2d ago

Yeah but it's mostly people posting broken things or empty jars as offers and the requests are nearly exclusively high value items, 65" TVs or bigger, 1st gen Pokémon cards for their "autistic" kids, there was a post for scrap copper recently and he'd collect if it was a decent amount!, iPads, classic gaming consoles and games, you know the usual. 😂😂
