Now now, Emmanuel, let's get your mind out of the gutter. It's obvious to me that the "mommy" was setting up a basketball hoop for a shelter for homeless children, but needed money to buy the net. All those fine gentlemen who offering her the money need for the net, and also to buy other equipments, such as basketballs and gatorade.
See? Very innocent!

My husband is a research scientist and does research on catalyst for cleaner gas. He used to work for Amoco years ago, before they became BP Amoco. When my daughter was in first grade she had to draw a picture of what her mom or dad did at work and she drew a picture of her dad pumping gas. So, all the parents who came to open house in her classroom and saw the picture hanging on the wall thought he was a gas station attendant. Looks like he got that PhD for nothin'! We just laughed and kept quiet. We figured if they thought we were broke they would quit asking us to donate money for the school. ;-)

counts!
