UPDATE....helping out member in need of funds for funeral expenses

[gbail]

See thread at http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...per-Quick-Sale

One of our ExPo Portal family members--Travis S.--has suffered the sad, sudden loss of his father and could use some help with funeral expenses.

In the above thread, he has posted the quick sale of some of his gear to try to raise money quickly to cover the costs of the funeral of his father.

Let's take a moment to help this guy out. And if you can, also help out by Re-Posting this in other threads so more people see it!


I propose that as many of us as possible should decide to donate something to help out.......for example, maybe donate the equivalent cost of a decent 6 pack of beer, $7.50 to $10.00...that is something we can all afford even in this bad economy!

Please pledge a donation to Travis S. and post your pledge here. Also, re-post this Request in other threads of the ExPo Portal so it will get the attention of as many folks as possible.

I will post here the Mailing Address and Name of the Recipient of these Donations as soon as I see that this idea has caught fire.......and I will start this off with a pledge of $20.00...

This is not a scam and I urge you to help out one of our deserving members.......please note that we are doing this out of the goodness of our hearts in support of our ExPo Portal brother......he has not asked for this help but otherwise must sell his gear to cover these funeral cost, so let's help Travis keep his gear!

(sorry for typo in title....have made edit to title now tho!)

Have asked Travis to set up PayPal acct for these donations
Thank you all for your helpful and generous willingness to help Travis and his family out, and also for the good suggestions you made to get these needed donations rolling via PayPal. On the other thread for this, we have had about 10+ responses. Let's keep this going!

We emailed Travis and asked if he could get a PayPal acct set up ASAP. I do not know how to do this and he may need someone to help him set this acct up though.

You can see this request for him to set up the account at his Flippac sales ad thread:
http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...74#post1026274

So, we are working on this and welcome anyone who might be able to advise Travis on getting the PayPal account set up.

In the meantime,...........Please help get the message out!

Add this request to any posts or threads where you feel it is appropriate !

Your responses really show that we have created a community on this portal.

Hey Guys and Gals,

Thanks to the great response we having been getting with these pledges,
it has been suggested that we combine the several threads we are using to
coordinate donations for funeral expense help, from kind hearted and
generous ExPo members.

Soooooooooo if you can join us here with even a small donation to help out Travis
and his family with their funeral expenses (compare it to skipping one purchase of a
6 pack of a decent beer, maybe?)...

Please go over to the thread here that has refers to the start of this project and also has
info on the PayPal account set up for the donations:

Thanks for helping.......and I apologize for any confusion caused by cross-posting
