Oh dear I'm so sorry for you. You see I had the same problem as you when
I was young, which resulted in me also being brought up by a very nice
lady.  There was a difference though; my nice lady would never have
encouraged me to scrounge for her benefit or for anybody elses.  She
certainly wouldn't have expected me to utilise a news group, which has
obviously been set up to discuss the forthcoming Jamboree, to try such
stupid methods of begging.
Get lost scrounger; it's obvious to all that the address given is your
own.  No nice lady would want her address published in this manner.
