How do I help a friend? Need advice from serious players...
solicited... nothing is being offered... I am in the process of verifying
all the facts of the situation I'm about to relate to you...
Skip J. is a great guy. I've known him for more than 40 years.
Nobody who's ever met Skip failed to walk away without a smile
on their face. Skip goes out of his way to make people feel
good about themselves. He's the kind of guy most people would
want to help if he were in a jam.
Skip is in a jam right now... a major jam.
Without going into a lengthy recitation of details that lead
up to today let me just say that Skip recently went to his
family doctor to try and find out what is causing the intense
pain he lives with 24/7.
After many tests the doctor says he needs to refer Skip out
to three different specialists. Skip has a failing heart and needs
to see a cardiologist. He's also showing signs of skin cancer
and needs an expert evaluation from an oncologist. Finally,
the intense pain in his feet.
Skip has medical insurance with his employer but the deductibles
and co-payments will be more than Skip can pay just to find out
what's wrong... let alone pay for treatments.
So... being a practical guy, Skip decided to deal with the
immediate pain in his feet. The specialist ordered x-rays and
bone scans (why both? I have no idea and neither does Skip)
The results revealed fractured and broken bones requiring surgery.
Great! We can deal with that. The problem is that, due to being
"under-insured" Skip doesn't have the means to pay his share
for the surgery and subsequent rehab... let alone the lost earnings
from lost job time during the process. The tests and fees, alone, set
him back nearly $2500.
Skip is so depressed from the constant pain he confided to me
that he now prays that one night he can just go to sleep and not
wake up.
I need to help Skip.
MY QUESTION FOR WARRIORS
How do I help Skip raise the money? I've had some success in
online marketing but I've never delved into the make money IM
world. I think that's where I need to be to get the fastest response.
Before anyone asks anyone else for a dime everything will be done
correctly to give everyone confidence that this isn't a scam.
A lawyer friend of mine is willing to donate his time and expertise
to setting up some kind of trust fund where all monies will be received
and disbursed by a local bank.
The goal I'm shooting for is $50,000. If Skip ends up not needing
that much we are open to assisting others in a similar situation,
assuming all facts can be verified.
So... please advise me. Are some of you willing to put up a product
for a "fire sale"? Would you promote it to your list... assuming you
approve of the copy I'll write for the website?
Is there a better way to raise the money online?
I'm open to any and all suggestions or assistance.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
