Receiving Donations. Is my country supported?
Supported countries and currencies include: United States of America ($USD), United Kingdom (£GBP), Canada ($CAD), Australia ($AUD), and European Union countries that use the Euro as their official currency (€EUR).

Same thing

Still hoping we can wire it directly to Desmond. If not, we will have to find another (senior) forum member who wants to setup an account.

Go it, well let's hope a direct wire to Desmond will work or another Senior member living in one of those countries will offer to do it...any volunteers???

Hello Arashi, I don't want to be pushy but if you are having issues with the account we could use a donation site call gofundme.com

Please see above. The account is ready, but I cant use it in my country to receive money Hopefully we can wire it directly to Desmond instead

I have made donations to others causes in the past and its very simple plus everyone will have visibility about how much money has been collected.

The down side if that they take 5% out of every donation which of course is very bad but it is easy to set it up, and once the money is there they will wire the amount to Desmond directly.

Desmond, You are hero!

[Arashi]

Is it set up and ready yet Arashi?

Thanks so much Desmond!! This is exciting

[bananana]

Great news guys.

I'll chip in with $20-30 as well.

[Dan26]

Desmond you are the man!

Everyone who looks at this topic throw any amount of $$$ you can it is for a great cause

[hellouser]

Damn, the account is ready but sending to it failed with an error saying that my country is listed as 'send only' and my account can't receive funds (I'm located in the caribbean). So that s*cks hard.

Desmond, Maybe then it's an idea to send the funds to your paypal directly ? Let me know if that's possible.

Thanks

WTF, caribbean?! How'd u end up there?!

Anyway, a donations account may prove to be easier if Desmond sets it up and we send the funds directly to him. Hopefully he's not out in the boonies :P

Wow, Desmond, what a legend!

Thanks so much for this.

I will chip in for your trip, not sure how much yet as things are pretty tight at the minute but will try and do £25 or so.

[HairBane]

Yeah Desmond! Maybe make a new thread for interview question suggestions, etc.

[Arashi]

Wow, Awesome news Desmond !!

looking forward to finding out an account number so I can make this donation

I just checked my credit card online again, yesterday's paypal transaction wasnt debeted yet, I need that to get the paypal account approved. I guess tomorrow ..

[hellouser]

Hey guys,

My leave got approved. I may have gained access to a very expensive HD camera ($10000 range), tripod, and microphone as well. You should be able to watch the presentation hopefully if all goes well. I may try and buy a cheap voice recorder in case they didnt let me film everything.

I am going to convince most of our heroes (Jahoda, etc) to have a short interview as well when I get there. Please think about what questions you really like me to ask and I'll bring it up.

Guys this is the first step in many steps to come. If we can get this happening we'll be moving on to a crowfunding project next. I'll try and bring up the crowdfunding idea with as many of the researchers as possible.

Also plz chip in if you can. Even $10 or $20 will go a long way. $10 would cover a bus ticket from the airport, a voice recorder, and many other small expenses involved.

P.s. Thank you for nominating me to go. I'll be doing the best I can to bring you back all the information and in depth analysis.

Love u guys as always.

Desmond

(Also Arashi I'll get in touch with Boldy tonight after work)

Desmond, if you need any help at all with how to use the video or audio equipment, let me know either here or on SAGA. I used to DJ back in the day and currently do some video work for my company. It's best that you'll be prepared and can get the interviews done quickly, properly and without any problems.

Thanks for everything Desmond! You are a freaking GOD!
