Yes you were at first pissed, and then happy. Why pissed? because of the pride of not needing it coupled with the fear of taking it from the needy.

But it brought you and your child joy, so you did need it.

It's just an assumption that rich people have everything they need or know how to get it.

All people should be included in these programs and they will mostly give back what they can because like you, most feel they are overwhelming positive.

We all need the prospects provided by a new points of view, regardless of our situation in life.

However, wealthy people also need to recognise privilege and support rather than take; glad to hear OP chose to support.
