This is either a brainstorm or a brain fart, I cant tell which

Since Michael Oksa's situation has arisen, I have gotten to thinking about how fast someone can go from easy street to bankrupt or near bankrupt. The WF have shown time and again that they have some real grit about them and they pull together to do what they can to help.

Here is my idea and I want feedback on it from you all. I personally have a ton of PLR books and scripts that I am willing to sell without an opt in and I am sure there are others out there with a few items that they could throw into the pot besides me. Of my stuff, I could offer 50 to 75% of the sales price to go into a general fund that would be overseen by a small committee of 2 to 5 people from the WF and these funds would be available to help those who fall on hard times and need some speedy relief to get back up. One requirement could be that the funds not be used to help a committee member so as to keep the committee honest and true to the mission of the fund.

Now, besides being willing to offer these books and scripts from my own collection, I would also be willing to sit as a committee member myself. Here is the reason for the committee. If others are adding items for a fire sale or whatever to add monies to the fund then the committee would be there to insure that the money is going for what it is supposed to. Also, the committee would help to ensure that the money was not being used on someone who is just trying to scam the fund from its money.

What do you all think of this idea? Mind you, I am not offering this as a means to bypass the great work that everyone already does but as a suppliment to that. This way a warrior could support the fund and when it is used to help they wont feel like they missed out on helping someone, which is the case with me. I wanted to help Mike out but by the time I got the website up and stuff most everyone had stopped going to the thread and so no one ever knew that I was offering something to help him out and I missed out on helping a great warrior like Mike. I know he has helped me out numerous times with advice and counsel.

So now that I have thrown the idea out there, tell me what you think and how you think this can best be done. I can have all my PLRs listed on my site within 24 hours. Just say the word.

    I think this is an amazing idea. I think it is horrible when you hear about some of the people on here getting hit so hard right now by the econ.

    Personally I dont have any products I might be able to throw into the pot I am willing to help in any other way needed. Just let me know how I might be able to help out here.

    Good luck and I am sure this is going to start an amazing project and fund for people in need.

      Hey Jim,

      Maybe you could be one that sits on the committee. The committee would only need to meet to discuss warriors in need and that is not all that often by what I have seen, although I could be wrong about that.

      In any case, thanks for the input and the offer of help.
