Title: Fundraiser/Giveaway
Post by: shakinghorizons on 01/18/2017 12:58 PM
I hate to call on the Geeks to assist, but they have no where else to turn.

A very good friend of mine had a friend pass away. He was on a lung transplant list (both lungs) but unfortunately passed away Monday. He had no family support (his insurance ran out and was forced to live with his ex-wife). His ex found him laying on the ground and didn't call 911..........so no family support. Long story short, my friend has decided to make funeral arrangements for him (so that the coroner doesn't just dispose of the body) and I am asking the Geeks to help where they can.

The giveaway is that I will randomly select one person that has donated and send them a fiver based on their profile. I am sure by now that everyone knows I don't giveaway anything junk.


Thanks everyone in advance!!!!

Every human person possesses an immutable, God-given dignity. A proper, dignified funeral should be available to everyone.

Completely agree!!! I am not one to ask for money.....ever.

I have made my donation in person as well as offering up a donation of cigars for an incentive for others to donate to this cause.

Wow, Colin is a very generous BOTL.  I knew he was, but this was way over the top.  Thanks - looks like I will be adding another tupperdor after all.

Thanks again for the donation!

The Tatuaje El Triunfador is from 2008, the Fuente and Padron have at least 4 years on them, and the unbanded was sent that way on purpose. All I will tell you is that it is an ISOM from 2014.
