Thank you for spreading the word on this. Looks like that family could really use the help in such tough times. Unfortunate, that I couldn't help much but in these situations, anything helps and I'm sure it won't take long for them to reach or exceed that goal with generous people spreading the message.



Just a small side note: I noticed that GoFundMe.com collects a 5% fee on each donation. The site looks like a great way to raise money from all over the world, and I understand it cannot be a free service, but do you know of any way to donate directly to the family without them paying any fees through a website? Not trying to be completely nit-picky but I'm sure there are some people who will find this that would love to help out in other ways besides financially, if there is a need for anything aside from money.

Good question Justin. I'm with you on that one. I know the website needs to pay the bills and all. But it would be nice if we could make the donation directly to the family somehow. Or at least if GoFundMe.com collected a flat fee instead of a percentage.

Still a good cause though.

Hi Bill & thanks for giving back & also for your thread.

I hope that many can help this child in need I commend all that can assist others with problems.

I personally have to many in my life that are in need that I help with my donations. It's sad that there are so many that need help in our country, our world . I'm thankful that there are avenues to get attention to encourage those that can help to give what they can... Thank You!
