<p>Whilst Ernst&#8217;s comment didn&#8217;t detail a strong need, it did hit home for how some people seem to have no luck and are deserving of some good fortune.</p>
<p>Ernst&#8217;s comment was: &#8220;give it to someone else,I have never had anything in my life for free and do not expect it to happen now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ernst &#8211; Please send me an email so I can provide details on your gift certificate to support @ freesamplesdirect.com.</p>
