Exactly. Act decisively and act now. Fees for online payment systems are a fact of life, they're a trade-off for those services existing in the first place. (They aren't perfect, but as someone who's been online since 1995, they're a godsend compared to how we had to do things before these services existed.)
Desmond, let's not make this too complicated, cause I'm afraid this will strand then. If you just supply a regular paypal or whatever donations account, we can start donating. Yes, fees will suck but that's a fact of life. There are several people willing to donate hundreds of dollars, including me, so I'm sure we can get this thing going.
Goddamit
This gofundme website charges 8% for the donations. That means we'll lose $200 of the donations to these guys.
Anyone knows any other websites that are cheaper? Im gonna look into it a bit more tonight
Yes that sucks. Best would indeed be a paypal account that you set up as a donation account (type business: charity and then select donations). But why would you need GoFundMe anyway ? If you have a paypal account, we can just fund that directly.
Hey guys. Sorry I'm good with these financial stuff but I do have a paypal account. Is that what you need?
Yup, you'll just have to let us know what the email address is for us to send funds... OR, you can setup a donations page for us to go to which I recommend as this way funds can be send just by a credit card and people won't need to create a paypal account... also, you won't have to tell us your email address either, just post the link and thats all!
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???
Again, let's hear if Desmond has an account himself we can fund. That would be the easiest by far anyway ! If not, I will email gc83uk and ask if he wants to do it.
