You can buy a smoke detector for less than 10 dollars. This is not a monetary issue, it is pure ignorance.
This should not be happening in 2017. We must find a better way to get the free smoke detectors to the people in need. Lets provide them for distribution to day cares, Wal-Mart, children and families, schools, any place where a large amount of people go.
