Fundraiser for Greg McCary

[Shebang]

The Economy hit and so my out-of-work decorative painter husband is now an almost-out-of-work-but-still-trickling-in house painter.

We have to trust for X amount of dollars anyway, so we might as well trust for X amount plus $25.00 more for the McCrarys

It seems hardly enough to make any difference, but I know what you said is true -- those little bits quickly add up -- and everything helps. :blush2:

Please send me a pm with an address and who to make my check to and I will stick it in the mail. :thumbsup:

Thanks for a great idea, your trouble making it happen, and the vehicle by which we can offer a little help in RT (real time).

Thanks my friends,

I have to say I'm really proud to be a member of this community, after seeing everyone pulling together like this for such a worthy cause that would likely go by almost undetected anywhere else. I think Aaron deserves a big round of applause too for finding us the e-card solution and now taking this on! Seriously, I know I've said it before, but once again, thank you Aaron


We don't have a clapping emoticon so I'll just strike up the band LOL :23:

Good job, Aaron and Everybody.

Judging by the response of everyone here to Greg's accident, I know we have a great group of members, probably the best on the web. I'm sure any of you would do the same if a good friend was in a similar situation. EVERYONE here get's a pat on the back :thumbsup:

Aaron, I just saw this thread. Thank you very much for doing this. It's not much, but I'll donate any profits from my photo pursuits while Greg remains in the hospital. PM me your Paypal and I'll transfer them as they come in.

Good work Xia,

I wasn't aware of neither the accident nor this until earlier tonight. It's quite amazing support for a really good guy. Count me in for this also.

I also thought of an idea. How about we send him photos? Since his primary love is photography, i thought that might be a good idea also. This way he'll always also has some PR 'memorebilia' around his place that he can stare at on his road to recovery

I just weened through his posts on my photo critique threads and found one that he liked. I noticed that there is a p.o.box address on his site. Do you think that it's better to send him photos there or to send the photos to one of us, who can then send all of them them in a package directly to Greg?

let me know what you guys think of this. I think could be nice and sentimental.

If you guys don't know how to search for what he liked of your photos. Click search, then advances search, type his full name, choose the find posts by user from the pull down menu. Then just scroll the results till you see a thread started by you. Then, the most important part:


read his comment carefully

[Xia_Ke]

Hi Liban,

I hadn't sent him anything yet (photos, gifts, etc) because he had been in ICU and patients are unable to receive anything until out of ICU. I'll have to get in touch with Nora now that he is out and get the details
