Popular Post RichardA Posted October 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Mat60 is the member that lost his wife Sunday morning. he had a decent cabinet shop business. But when his wife got real sick, with a number of illnesses, he shut down his business to take care of the woman he's been in love with for 36 years. The only income he's had for the last two years has been her Social Security, and as some of you know, that money doesn't go very far. I and a couple of other folks here are trying to help as best we can. So I'm asking our group here if there's a way we can set up a "Go Fund Me" page to help him with cremation expenses. He's been paying the funeral home a little at a time and he needs a tad over $1,000 to get this done. In the mean time, he's been contacting some of his old customers to see if he can get his cabinet business back up and running. He isn't of age to collect Social Security, so he has no choices left to him. If anyone of you muggs can help in any way, like setting up a go fund me page, or donate, Let me know by a PM and I'll give as much info as I have to help this young man out. I'd appreciate it and I'm sure he will as well. Thanks guys. ...........Richard A 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Rick, please let us know if a go fund me is set up as I would like to help. As far as setting one up, I have no earthly idea as how to go about doing so. Mark Mathews, my condolences sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 @RichardA, do you know if this has been set up yet? I know that you are not creating the account, just wondered if you had heard anything As @mat60‘s situation is not an emergency, it’s about as close to one as it gets, as the timing is pretty critical. I would hate to know that I was put in his situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted October 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Nothing is set up that I know of. I'm not good with computers so I'm not gonna screw up getting some help to a friend. I have to hope that one of the guys here knows how to set it up . I have all the info he'd need. .........................................R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time at night to get upset.. I want to thank everyone for what they have said and done and I really mean it guys.. I will see you guys later today after I get some things done..

wtnhighlander Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 Guys, the donations were refunded because the recipient never set up his withdrawals. Refunds are automatic in this case. Both Richard and I attempted to assist, but he lives in Maine. After the first few weeks, we heard no more from him, so I am not sure what happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
