Funding Desmond to go to WCHR 2014

[Arashi]

I've been in contact with Desmond and his paypal account is ready ! If you want to help to send probably the most knowledgable member of this forum to WCHR 2014, to report to us about the latest developments, to let us know where the leading scientists in the world stand right now, to be our eyes and ears there, hopefully even with microphone and video, then send your donations to:

kavsar84@gmail.com

Please chip in if you can. Although we need about $2000, even $10 or $20 will go a long way.

Also keep in mind that WCHR 2014 is going to take place next month already so we need to hurry !

Thanks everybody !

And the first donation should be in your account right now, just wired you my $300 Desmond, as promised !

[brunobald]

Done $10 as promised not a lot but we only need 200 pledges of $10 to complete. There is an option to send to friends or family which reduces the fees, in this case I paid the fee of $0.1 so desmond gets the full $10.


Total $310

Cheers! Well done Arashi - this is exactly the type of the this website needs to get behind. And thanks be to Desmond!!

[Kurtis]

What happens if we fall short of the required amount? Will transactions be reversed?

They can be, hopefully will be.

[Mike K]

How close are we? I threw in $200. Also, you might post this on other forums.

Paypal can reverse transactions and if you do, there will be 0 fee (so you get EVERYTHING back). I haven't spoken to Desmond about this but it would be highly unethical to not return the money in case not enough will be raised, so personally I don't doubt Desmond will do this (I have a lot of faith in him, he seems one of the most sincere guys around here). Desmond, can you affirm this please ?

To everybody: Desmond is in moderation queue unfortunately so his posts need to be read by the mod before they appear here so it can take some time ...

[Arashi]

And thanks for the donations so far !! Keep it up people, we need to get Desmond there

[LMS]

I'll throw some bones this week when I get paid.

Would be nice if Winston could reverse this, it really does hinder the progress for such an awesome initiative to send Desmond to the Hair Congress.

Just chipped in $85 USD!

Ps, you guys will get two options of what kind of transaction it will be:



And this:



I chose the friends option. Not sure how it will affect the transactions but it should be fine.

Good luck Desmond!
