Duggar Fans to Jill & Derick: Stop Asking For Money! START Helping Hurricane Victims!
The Duggars have survived just about every sort of PR nightmare imaginable, but in recent weeks, Derick Dillard has proven so problematic that many have wondered if he’ll be the one to bring an end to the family’s wildly lucrative media empire.
Derick has attracted so much negative attention to his in-laws that he’s been dubbed “the next Josh Duggar,” and it seems he has no interest in reforming anytime soon.
The latest uproar surrounding Derick and his wife, Jill Duggar, has raised questions about the sincerity of the Duggars’ values and religious convictions, both key components of the wholesome image they’ve worked so hard to create.
The issue has to do with Jill and Derick’s missionary work in Central America.
As you may have heard, Jill and Derick are not licensed missionaries, which means not only have they not received proper training for the jobs they undertook, they also receive no sponsorship from any religious organization.
As a result, the Dillards took it upon themselves to raise money by soliciting donations from fans.
Jill comes from a wealthy family, and the Dillards have plenty of time and money to seek the training they would need for church sponsorship, so fans quite understandably took issue with the requests for cash.
So earlier this month (probably after being prompted by patriarch Jim Bob Duggar), Jill and Derick promised to stop asking for money.
Of course, asking strangers for money online is easy and getting a job is hard, so they lasted about three weeks.
Earlier this week, Derick announced that he would be raising funds in order to pay for a ministry education program offered by his church.
He asked fans to donate, with the goal of raising several thousand dollars for his tuition.
Not surprisingly, fans weren’t having it, and Derick raised a scant $ 125 before abandoning the mission completely.
“This Fundraiser has ended and is no longer accepting funding,” reads a message on Derick’s Pure Charity page.
Of course, shutting down the fundraising page hasn’t been enough to placate fans who feel they’ve been deceived by the Duggars.
Many have taken to the family’s Facebook page to remind them that instead of asking for money for themselves, they should raising funds to help with the relief effort following Hurricane Harvey.
“Ya need to go help Houston,” wrote one fan.
“I would like to see your family help out in Houston during this time,” commented another.
The Duggars have yet to respond to the requests for aid.
Sending Jill and Derick to Houston to assist in the relief effort would do wonders for the family’s public image.
But it would also require real work and sacrifice, so don’t expect it to happen any time soon.

Derick Dillard: STILL Begging For Money From Fans!
If you’re a fan of the Duggar clan, then you’re probably aware that Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard have spent much of the past two years performing missionary work in Central America.
While no one doubts that the couple accomplished some good and perhaps even changed a few lives for the better during their time in El Salvador, the Dillards’ motives and ability to safely and effectively perform the work required of them have both been called into question.
For one thing, the Jill and Derick are not licensed missionaries, which means they never demonstrated that they have the skills necessary for such important and dangerous work, and they did not receive sponsorship from any religious organization.
As a result of their lack of sponsorship, the Dillards solicited donations from fans online.
Obviously, this raised a number of problematic issues.
Many fans pointed out that Jill and Derick’s time would be better spent undergoing the training required by the International Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Conference.
Many others complained that Jill comes from a fabulously wealthy family, and if she wants to make an unauthorized missionary trip, she should fund it herself.
The outcry eventually became too much for Jill and Derick, and they announced two weeks ago that they would no longer be asking fans for money.
Unfortunately, it seems the Dillards resolve on that issue lasted roughly until the time when the monthly bills became due.
Earlier this week, Derick took to Instagram to reveal that he’s enrolled in the Cross Church School of Ministry, a one-year program that trains its students to serve as campus ministers at schools, hospitals and workplaces.
Of course, Derick is unemployed these days, so naturally, he’d like his fans to foot the bill:
“BIG NEWS! For the next year, I will be serving through a program at my home church, called the Cross Church School of Ministry!” he wrote on Instagram.
“I am so excited about this incredible opportunity for further ministry development, and I would like to invite you to share in this excitement with me,” he added.
By “share in the excitement,” Derick meant, of course, that he wants you to throw him some cash.
He set up a fundraiser on the Pure Charity website where fans can assist him with paying for his tuition.
Thus far, however, Derick’s efforts appear to be falling flat.
“I started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding I need for various missions opportunities I will have throughout the year. I have a donations goal of $ 6,500,” Derick wrote on Instagram.
As of this writing, he has received just two donations, for a total of $ 125 in proceeds.
Considering Derick has whopping 820,000 followers on Instagram alone, we imagine he thought he would be much closer to his goal several days into the fundraiser.
Of course, it’s not exactly an ideal time for Derick to be asking favors from the masses.
The 28-year-old father of two has been so scandal-plagued in recent months that some have called him “the next Josh Duggar.”
Obviously, Derick isn’t involved in anything nearly as vile as the actions that brought down his disgraced brother-in-law, but like Josh, he could single-handedly cost the Duggars their lucrative reality show.
Earlier this month, Derick attacked Jazz Jennings, a transgender teen and fellow TLC reality star, in a bizarre, transphobic rant on Twitter.
Thus far, there have been no serious ramifications from his actions, but fans might not be in a rush to fund the career of an aspiring minister who’s in the habit of bullying already at-risk teen girls on social media.
Go figure.

Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: We Promise to Stop Asking Fans For Money!
Last month, Jill Duggar welcomed her second child with husband Derick Dillard.
Though they had been performing missionary work in El Salvador for the bulk of the pregnancy, the Dillards returned home for the birth, flying back to Arkansas just ahead of Jill’s third trimester.
After the birth of their first child, the Dillards returned to Central America to continue their humanitarian efforts.
It was widely assumed that they would do so a second time, but earlier this week Jill and Derick announced that they plan to remain in the States and seek ways to continue their work at home.
“Through a number of circumstances, and guided by much prayer and counsel, we are discerning the Lord leading our family’s full-time ministry back to the United States for the time being,” the Dillards wrote on their personal website.
“At this time, God has seen fit for our family to continue serving him in ministry within the context of Northwest Arkansas,” they continued.
Though their intentions seem to have been good, the Dillards time in El Salvador has been a frequent source of controversy.
For one thing, Jill and Derick are not licensed missionaries.
Both failed to complete course work required by the International Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Convention, and despite her claims to the contrary, Jill is not a certified midwife.
Their lack of church sponsorship has led the Dillards to resort to some unusual methods of funding their travels.
Jill and Derick have asked for donations from fans, which resulted in an uproar, as many on social media expressed their belief that the well-off couple should be donating portions of their considerable salaries to the poor, not soliciting cash from others.
Though the Dillards have removed the donation request links from their website, their requests have not been forgotten by fans, some of whom took the announcement that they won’t be working abroad anymore as an opportunity to ask if they’d still be begging for cash.
“Will you be soliciting money from your fans?” tweeted one follower.
“They had a good ministry going a couple of years ago called “Bumming For Gift Cards In The Name of Jesus” Guess it didn’t work out,” wrote another.
By way of an answer, the Dillards posted an addendum to their original post, reading:
“Beginning this month, we are discontinuing Dillard Family Ministries and will no longer be accepting donations through this organization.”
Yes, it seems the Dillards are very much aware of the outrage over their donation requests, and have thus taken the extra step to assure angry fans (and the IRS) that they’ll be shuttering their highly dubious non-profit organization.
In all likelihood, it was the uproar over Jill and Derick’s lack of proper licensing and solicitation of money from fans that led to their decision to remain in Arkansas.
The couple’s humanitarian work was supposed to help rebuild Jill’s family’s reputation in the months following the revelation of Josh Duggar’s sex crimes.
Unfortunately for the Duggars, like everything they do these days, it just resulted in more scandal.
