If you can help, it is appreciated.

Sent out a Tweet and a little donation...

Kindest Regards,
Pete

For some reason I do not feel an urge to donate.

Looks like macyjohns.com website is registered to internet marketer William Surrency (Will Surren?) who also owns such domains as:
weconsolidatecards.com
insomniaforidiots.com
and others. Many of them are 1-page salesletters for stuff.

Maybe I wrong in this.

Spam?
I don't know.

Gleb

Well maybe Mike got duped, but if he is asking here he doesn't think it is a con.
Good enough for me.

It's for a child warriors - Dig deep.

Well if it's a scam then I have just been had.
After all Uncle Sam just got me for $1600 yesterday so a little more to help someone isn't going to kill me.

Give them the benefit of doubt and donate a little.

Jim

My God people.

Either donate or don't, but why come here and blast someone for trying to help.
It isn't like it is someone with no reputation and no post trying to scam you.
Filsaime isn't going to run a scam on this forum that has probably been very good to him.

Just my take,

Jim

Donation sent. God bless her.

I have daughters and something like this could strike them too. I would be devestated. Nobody is immuned. I also just learned last weekend that a family friend of 30 years is in ICU for liver problems and he may not make it.

I take health issues seriously and compassionately. Life is too precious.

Donation sent. RT.

And for the skepticism, you give with your heart, not wondering whether or not something is a scam.

It wasn't much but donation sent. My prayers go out to her and her family.

Guys, I need to get some rest.

Thanks for all the donations. I will communicate with the family and report back.

Maybe we can get a pic from her to us.

Thanks for allowing this thread to get back on track.

Mike

MemberWing, I just joined this site a few min ago. I was just told about this site tonight so I def. don't want to rant. I understand you being skeptical, as no one here knows me. Yes I own about 40 domain names most of which I have not developed yet. Several are article sites with adsense and yes some are one-page CB sites. I hope that having these sites is not a bad thing. I am trying to become an Internet marketer and slowly I am. If you look at my name domain I list all of my domains. I am not trying to hide anything.

Macy is my 1st cousins daughter, which makes her my 2nd cousin. Yes, she is a real person and and everything on her website is 100% true. She is at Wolfson Children's Hospital Jacksonville, Florida please verify this. I ask that you please remove your reply as this could cause someone not to donate and Macy would be the one to suffer.

Think about it, when someone needs help we all do what we know. I know how to build websites and I told her and her mom and dad that I would do this for her. I promise you this is no scam. Please verify and post a reply to your message to confirm what you find out from Wolfson Children's Hospital Jacksonville, Florida.

Another thing, if this were a scam, would I post the bank account number and routing number on the website. You can also call VyStar Credit Union and tell them you would like to donate to the donations account for Macy Johns Cancer Patient in care of William Surrency Jr. They can confirm the information as well. The account number is on Macy's site.

Much respect guys.. Mike I hate that this caused you all of this time tonight. And thank you for posting

Thank you,

Thank you guys! I updated the meter at 2am. The account is at $4,889.72 USD. You guys are awesome!

The man has a point. I thought Mike started off on the wrong tack too. And being aggressive to the guy who was doing his due diligence didn't help matters. Mike, you are not a GOD. You are just like the rest of us. Maybe you've ripped more money out of this game but "that don't impress me much". But acts of kindness do. So I've chipped in.

For now we want to stop at $10,000. I don't know if they will need more latter but for now 10 should get them by for a little while. I want to be careful not to raise more than they need because I don't know what they would need to do with any additional funds. I guess they could put in a trust for her if that happened but I am not sure. Given that, I will disable the buttons as soon as possible after the account reaches 10k. The site will stay online for Macy to update and I think I will show her mom and dad how to set up an adsense account for her.

This is a young life.Many people are in need of help.

Donation sent.
May she live long and prosper.

Guys,

I checked Mike's twitter page here: Mike Filsaime (mikefilsaime) on Twitter, you can find some messages about the donation.

For me it's a confirmation it's the 'real' Mike who posted this and not someone who would have hijacked his WF account.

Mike, sorry for checking but on internet, we never know...

Patrice

My daughter is 26 and just announced she is getting married.
I couldn't imagine life without her in it.
I hope and pray Macy gets the help she needs and gets to announce her engagement sometime in the near future.
No kid should have to go through this.
Kick ass Macy.

Jim

Donations sent... come on Warriors... the goal is only $10,000 .. we can do this by midnight UK time... ya got 3 hours 25 mins

I'm off to tweet...

Peace

Jay

Donation sent, along with some prayers.

Mike,

I love to donate money for things like this, so no problems here.

But I really have to ask you 2 questions, just to get things clear.

- People will think (at least it came to my mind) that you are doing this to show us that you are a real guy, with human feelings etc. It's good for your status, and will eventually be good for your sales. You could simply send an e-mail to all of your partners asking them the same thing and getting tons more money... right?

That said, I always thought you have millions of dollars, and now you're asking this warrior forum to help... So my second questions is: How expensive is this treatment?

Please note that I'm just curious and in no way was trying to offend you!

Regards,

Dennis

Hi Mike,

I sent out a tweet and brought attention to this thread.
If they just went to the site, I reckon that they might
not do anything... but if they understood where and
why you're doing this. They might be more willing to
help.

Hope it does!

Asher

Please keep us updated on how it turns out. I just donated and will be sending this to my mom (she gives to St. Jude's so I know she'll want to help out). I can't imagine what her and her parents are going through. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hey,

I know a lot of people ask whether it is appropriate to post these kinds of things in the main forum etc. And I know everyone has struggles and problems they need help with, and if they all posted here, we'd never get down to any business, but.....

I don't really care about that anymore. I used to think about it, but I absolutely love the fact that the warriors have helped so many people and continue to do so. I think it is a great reflection on the people that hang out here that people come here to make these kinds of appeals, and I think it is pretty cool Mike decided to visit this place with his appeal as well.

I am donating and hope I can do my little bit. I'll Twitter hard these next few days. I'm rooting for Macy and her family.

As a side note, I often wonder if it would be benficial to have a section of the forum where people could ask for help, but it probably wouldn't get the required readership to make it worthwhile. Hmmmm. Never mind, I am just thinking out loud here.

My thoughts, prayers and best wishes to the family. Lets hit the big 10k for them!

It's eighteen years tonight since my Dad died from cancer. He loved kids.

Donation sent. It wasn't a lot, but it was from my Dad as well as me.

Love to Macy xx

Donation sent, blog post made, tweet sent.

We both don't know why Filsaime started this thread here.
We only have our idea's about it.

We can discuss about this for days but it won't help this girl.
So I will stop posting reply's here and donate a nice amount of money because I really care. Let's hope everything is going well.

Regards,

Dennis

Donation sent, courtesy of my oldest son. I sat in the PICU with my son 8 years ago and have seen the effects of losing a child on other parents there. Thankfully, 8 years later my son is alive and well.
He has to donate part of his allowance and this month this is his donation. Lets keep the gifts going!
peace,
--Jack and Matthew Tackett

I sent in my $15. First found out about this effort to raise money through twitter. Thanks for giving me the oppty to help a total stranger -- always feels the best, because its totally altruistic.

And if this happens to be a fraud (which I dont think it is, but... ) that won't stop me from donating the next time around.

Having lost my 20 year old sister to cancer in 1997, this is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I think for the people that don't want to donate should do just that, not donate and keep the thread on topic. Having personally witnessed Mike Filsaime help many people behind-the-scenes in this very forum is more than enough for me to donate for this cause and then some.

RoD

P.S. The thank you page was a nice surprise and well done. I hope there will be many more smiles in this young lady's future.

I sent a donation.. this really gets to my heart as I have three young daughters and I would really appreciate all the help I could get in a time like this..

My prayers go out to her and her family..

Dennis

The internet gives us all a lot of choices. I believe giving to real causes, like this one, is an important one that we all need to make. Working in numbers (meaning the group of readers here) is a great way to leverage our influence to help people who really need it.

If you're not sure about giving, pick a product of mine, from my signature below and send the amount for it as a donation, then send me a pm and I'll send you my product for free.

Let's do something good together.

Sincerely,

~Mike Cowles. <><

Everyone, I am fairly new around here. But I just want to point out that I think it is pretty disgusting that people are calling out Mike Filsaime for trying to do a good deed.

Sure, any big-name marketer wants to have a good reputation and come off looking like "one of the good guys"

But just because he is "Mike Filsaime" as opposed to "Internet Marketer #314321" does not mean we should all of a sudden question his motives.

I don't know Mike Filsaime from Adam, never met the guy. Sure I bought BFM 2.0 like everyone else, but I don't know him personally.

But I can tell you that getting on somebodies case because they are trying to use their public platform to help either 1 or 10 or 10,000 people, is just classless and rude.

I am not trying to offend anyone in this thread that may have posted any "negative" or doubtful messages about this young ladies fundraising efforts or the gentleman marketer who set up her site.

But I think that you should take a look inside yourself and ask yourself WHY you feel it necessary to try to put doubt and "IT'S A SCAM!!!" type messages in a thread meant to help SAVE THE LIFE OF A YOUNG GIRL.

That's just downright awful.

I will leave it at that, make my donation, and hope that people will read my message, and instead of instantly turning Flame-Mode on, will instead stop and think about it for a minute.

Well...

I've donated and signed the guest book too, I trust Mike 100%.

Yesterday I was walking past the bus stop near our local mall
when a guy asked me for some spare change for the bus...

I gave him the coins in my pocket, $3 dollars.

I walked into the mall for an hour & a 1/2 or so & when I came out
the guy was still asking for money for the bus...

Now i train like a demon... I weigh 110 kilos of muscle,
(about 240 pounds)...

I could've easily knocked this guy out for his dishonesty,
(simply coz I cant stand dishonesty) But then i thought otherwise.

Money...

Some people need it.
Some people greed it.

I've spent money on useless shit before but all I know is that there COULD be
little girl who COULD need a helping hand, it COULD be a scam and you COULD
donate $10 Bucks and you COULD get ripped off...

or you COULD help save a life.

But no need to get all upset about anything... it's only $10 bucks or so?

Good luck on your decision to donate.
Im sure your decision will be a great one

It's heart warming to see Warriors get involved like this... you are all fantastic people...

Another donation from us this morning.. My missus this time

Peace

Jay

Donation sent, thanks.
...and posted that to also keep it bumped up

Wouw it's really touching with the message to warriors

Just thought I'd add another message.


Get well Macy!

Hey Mike,

Tell Macy to get well. We are all rooting for her.

Payment sent.:-)

Warriors... You folks are just awesome.

I got some emails from Macy and her Family and they are so happy to see
you guys Rally for her.

She sent me some more pics for you guys!

Help Macy Johns' Fight Against Hodgkin's Disease

I'm off to donate myself now, and wish, hope and pray it helps!

Be Well!
ECS Dave

Here is a small note to member "severt" or maybe some other people that question
why I did this.

Last year, Mike Ambrosio, a member of this forum and a member of my team,
lost his niece to Cancer.

We fought hard to raise money, but unfortunately, the cancer was found too late that
all the money in the world could not save her.

I watched how this young girl went through so much pain an lost her fight while
in her teens.

It was devasting to Mike, his sister (the girls mother), their family, and our entire
staff.

The day she died, it was one of the toughest days I have been through as an Internet
Marketer.

I felt helpless when she passed and felt horrible for the parents to have to
deal with the loss of their child.

You ask why don't I just pay for the surgery?

Richard Branson is one of the weathiest people in the world. Why does he have
VirginUnite ? Why not just give all his money to the charity and not ask others
to help.

I am not sure why you question why I ask the warriors for help. Why does
Branson have a charity?

I would prefer not to have made this reply.

But for you to think I would do this for my own benefit is very surprising to me. But
you just do not know me. Others say I think I am a GOD (in this thread) or say
that I am not one which implys maybe I think I am. And I did not think my
mention of trolls was out of line in the PS of my post. There are mean people
in this world and they find this forum every now and then. It was not to the
great warriors, it was keep mean people out that do not know how to bite there
tongue when they have bad things to say and there is a life at stake here.

I get emails all the time, from veterans, people about to lose their homes,
blind and deaf and handicap. How / if I help those people is my business.

But I never go a tweet "I just did this and that" for my own benefit.

I am not going to talk about the many charities I donate too. I am not
looking for credit.

I do what I can. I thinking giving back is very important. But I do not
make it a point to let the world know when I do it.

Getting a letter from a kid in Africa with a picture is all the reward I need.

Could I pay for this charity myself. I could yes. And I made a promise
to the family that I would do EVERYTHING I can to get them to the goal
and promised them, no matter what, they would hit it. If I had to doante
any shortcomings I would.

I did reach out to my best friends with a personal email. They did donate.

One of them $3000.

I donated my self 2 x.

You may have heard the story about the Gril and her father and the Starfish on the beach.

They walk on the beach and they see thousands of beached starfish.

The young girl picks one up and throws it BACK in the water. The father asks her
"Why did you do that? There are thousands. You think that will make a difference?"

She replied "It will make a difference to that one!"

the point is, we can not save the world. But we can make a difference to one
person. On wonderful human act at a time.

I know in my heart, there are great wonderful people in this forum that would
rather I reached out to them then do this all by myself.

Many people find great reward in helping people that can not help them selves.

I requested if you could not donate, to tweet and pray and spread the word.

We can ALL help.

So rather than question my motives. Just donate and send move on. Do you
really need to know what my motives are?

I saw a young girl lose a battle with cancer last year. If there is anything
I can do to prevent that, I will. Even for a total stranger. It is my goal
to meet her.

She is just so happy that many of you helped. That is the medicine she needs.

Not just the money, but to know people are rallying for her to get well.

That is 1 Million times better than a paid in full donation my friend.

Please, for a minute, don't let yourself be so blinded that I would do
such a thing for personal branding. That is disgusting and it saddens
me. Honestly.

When I got a DM in twitter about this. I saw the page and I was taken
over completely. I had instant reminders of the page Mike A made for
his niece.

I instantly said "Not this time!!" and I knew reaching out to my friends
and fellow warriors was the right thing to do and I acted on it.

God bless her and all of you that did what you could, even in prayer
to help this young kid.

Again, you guys are wonderful and I am sorry for this post here. It is not
about me and I would prefer no one replies on this part. I just needed to
address this for some that questioned why I would do this for a young girl I do
not even know.

The answer is, "The same reason many of you did. It is the right thing to do."

Mike Filsaime - GO MACY!

Macy - just sent you a little something

and prayed for you

and tweeted about you with your website address included

Get better fast!!

Jason Dinner

I have another reason why Mike brought this to the forum, and to others for help.

The reason is that Mike is a leader. One of the hardest lessons I've had to learn as a leader is that "doing it myself" is actually almost always the wrong action. It's often the easiest thing to do, but it has ramifications beyond the simple act that impact you, your teams, and others for some time to come.

Opportunities like this allow many things to happen for the individuals and for the community as a whole that would not happen if leaders simply did it themselves and did not bring these opportunities to their communities (tribes, followers, teams).

I suspect this is something of a second nature to a guy like mike. I still struggle with it myself.

When my niece was diagnosed with colon cancer at 17 years old (March '08), after the initial shock wore down a bit, I thought about ways to help my sister and my niece from a financial standpoint. I thought long and hard about coming here to the WF, in which I have been an active member since the old UniSol forum back in 99 or 2000.

Ultimately, I decided not to for a few reasons...

- My sister and her husband were fortunate to have fantastic insurance
- They live in a community that from the first day rallied everyone they could in support, in the form of fundraising dinners, carnival (yes - a whole carnival with rides and everything) and much more.
- They found the local childrens hospital had an excellent program which helped them in many ways too.

I knew if I posted here, at some point someone would come and "call me out" in some form, and I would have to prove my niece's existence, or have my sister post, or some such.

I am all for due diligence, but I felt it would not be worth it for my sister, who was already in the heat of battle with getting answers for my niece.

Instead, I held a sale and gave her the procedes. Even in the sale, I only mentioned my niece in the P.S. of the sales letter as I didn't want any negative energy.

When the generous people at MikeFilsaime.com Inc donated, Mike matched every dollar.

My niece passed on December 11th and my family still feels the loss greatly. It seemed her entire senior class, teachers, friends as well as family came to her funeral. Our precession shut down our local 4 lane highway because there were so many cars.

Because I know what Macy's family is going through, I hope and pray that they get every cent they need so they can focus their energy on Macy because she needs it.

Cancer sucks. Cancer kills. My prayers are with Macy and her family - as are the prayers of my sister and her family.

Mike

Thank you so much Warrior Forum members!!!!! I talked with Macy tonight and she was checked out of the Hospital and at home. You guys have lifted the spirits of her and her parents. There is an evident stress relief visible in her parents face as they have been worried about their daughter and the mounting expenses. Since I told them about you guys and what you are doing, they have been able to focus their energy more toward Macy and less toward worries of how they are going to pay for everything she needs.

Macy is my 2nd Cousin. Please take this as a thank you from her family. They do not know much about the internet but they have seen Macy's web page. When Macy is feeling better, I am going to sit down with them to show her this forum so they can see what everyone has done to help.

If you are here and you are saying I would love to help but I don't have the money. No worries.... Just visit Macy's website and sign her guestbook an some encouraging message.... If you are a prayer warrior Pray for Macy and her family.... If you are on Twitter "Tweet"... There are many other ways you can help Macy if you are not in a situation to where you can donate funds. Her guest book is a great place to give her a message that will lift her up.

Guys, Thank you again for your help. I have not updated the image of the meter since 7:30 PM EST. but I want you know that you guys have helped raise $6,279.89. The goal is 10k and not too far away..

With my daughter just beginning here life.. this story really struck me as painful..

It's amazing how warriors pull together...

Thank you Mike for posting this and giving us the opportunity to help where we can..

Thank you Warriors, for... well .. being the warriors that you are..

You're golden!...I'm off to tweet again

Peace

Jay

Mike, this is a nice thing you're doing here... Donation made. Thanks.

Im in and did a RT - The rest of you can help a littel too.

All the best.


[quote=mikefilsaime;702735]MODS - if this is does not belong here. I 100% understand.

Allen, thanks for letting this ride if it can.

Hey guys, in tough times, I know millions need a helping hand and
I have never been one for posting in forums for people in dire straights.

But, with that said... This story has touched my heart.

A total stranger reached out to me to donate for a young girl that
is 15 and has cancer. She needs money for treatment that can save
her life.

Life is precious and we Warriors can help save her life. She does
not need much to be raised to get her treatment.

I promised the family today that I would reach out to the people I
think will so what they can, no matter how small, to help.

Her name is Macy Johns. Please see what you can do to help this
young beautiful girl.

She is counting on us.

Even if it is $10. $100 even better. $1000 if you are blessed to be in that position.

And if money is tight, hey, I have been there too but there are ways to help.

Add it to your sig file for a few days. Add it to your outlook. Send a tweet. YOU
can make a difference.

The website is here.

I am tweeting as hard as I can.

All my tweets in the last day have been about this appeal.

I don't have too much money to give right now, though I have made a donation. It has already been said, if you can't send a dime, take some time to tell a friend, tweet, mail your list, write a blog post, anything. Like I say, this is an awesome forum with some great people in it.

I don't have a lot extra, but I donated what I could. I can't imagine how stressful this must be for her and her family.

Good news and bad news the traffic to the site is high.. bad news server shut down... I'm in chat with host waiting in line for tech support now. Hope to have it back up soon. just in case the paypal email is donations @ macyjohns .com i had to separate the email address because don't have enough post to enter addresses yet..

ok the site is back up now..

It's when I read this type of thing that I thank God for the NHS (as bad as it is) here in the UK

Please accept my donation Macy, I know you will get better really soon, (Toddling off to tweet about it as well)

Kim

I went to the site shame about the hosting issue would try it again tmoz,
Anyhows donated some dollars. Be nice to hear the progress on the young girl too.

Steve M

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am a 62 year old senior citizen and I am trying to help someone who needs help. His name is Kenneth Robinson and he is a 53 year old man displaced by Hurr. Katrina to Knoxville, TN in 2005.
He stayed with relatives until recently he got a Section 8 house to live in because it was too crowded where he was staying. Unfortunately Kenneth only gets $674 a month SSI income and could not afford furniture. His money goes towards rent, utilities, transportation costs, personal, food, etc. He is sleeping on a hard floor that is not good for his back disability. Kenneth is both mentally and physically disabled and handicapped. Please help him get some furniture for his bedroom and living room. Please send donation to Kenneth Robinson, 2638 Summitt Ave, Knoxville, TN. If you need proof of his circumstances please give name and address and I will send information to you. Thanks alot. Please twitter this also.

Why is the world so cruel? this is so sad.

15 years old is so young. Let's work together and help this family - they deserve it as do many in this world - these people don't have the backing of the likes of famous people like Elton John etc to help (if anyone knows where I'm coming from) - it is so unfair.

In November 2006 I lost my aunt to cancer (my mum's sister), in November 2007 I lost my dad to Melanoma cancer and last night at 11.30 I lost another aunt to cancer (another of my mum's sisters) - it has been a terrible 2 years.

I pray that young Macy will get the help she needs.

I will donate as much as I can.

Donation just sent. I know I'm late to see this here, but after hearing of Mike Ambrosio's niece, plus a good friend's sister dying of cancer a few weeks ago, and my own sister-in-law 2 years ago...how could I say no to Macy!

So glad to see so many generous Warriors come forward, and knowing Mike F personally I can tell you that he may not be a "god" as some like to project, but he has a tremendously BIG heart, with no alterior motives here.

Donation was sent.

I haven't a chance to come here for a few days but I think it's not too late.

My prayer will go with you Macy.

Ethical bump

Donation sent. And let's all remember to stand up for the cause of affordable health insurance/health care for *everyone* whenever we get the chance.

Going to bump this again because it keeps getting buried so quickly. Only time I will, I promise.

I donated, tweeted and prayed.

My prayers with you, Macy.

Way to go Warriors!

Will, here is a link for you. PayPal email is: donations@macyjohns.com.

Donation sent.

I think this campaign may have lost a little momentum due to the fact that the total amount of cash asn't been updated since Sunday. I think the people donating and working hard to spread the message need to see the fruits of their labor and how successful/unsuccessful their work is.

Here's a ready made Twitter link (if you're logged in that is) to tweet this thread,

Mike I also tweeted this and will RT for as long as it makes a difference. Hope it causes some of my followers to donate.

I wish I had been more involved in IM a few years ago when my best friends son found out he had leukemia. Poor little guy passed away last year and I always thought I could have done more to help. It may not have saved him but donations could have made his family live easier during their nightmare.

If I had been on the forums then I could have asked all the great people here to help out as well.

I will be donating also. We all need to stick together in times of crisis.

Donation Sent

We Will be keeping Macy in our prayers.

Glad this thread found me. Great job warriors! It is inspiring to see so many people reach out to someone they don't know and help them in a time of need.

I will do as much as I can...I also just sent a tweet for a RT as well.

Kathy

Hey guys,

Since Will was going to post it but couldn't I'll do it for him:


I've taken all my marketing videos and advertising videos off that youtube account and I am setting up another one for those.

I want that channel and video to be exclusively for macy and her appeal for as long as she needs it, so if you're so inclined feel free to distribute the video.

I'm a little embarassed about being on video and my stupid accent etc, but I would make a 100 videos if I could and be mortified by it if it meant I got to help out people like Macy and their family.

Thanks to Will;

a) for doing all this

and b) for his kind words.

I am rooting for the Macy and the family.

Now an update on Macy... She had her test on Friday May 1st and we are hoping to get the results on May 8th. This is the test that will let us know that the cancer is gone. Please keep Macy and her parents in your prayers. This week is going to pass by slow as we approach Friday.

Pulling for her.
Let us know the results.

You made $8000 from donations? This is great!

I'll pray for Macy and donate for her.

Mike,

I offer a Tweet Riches form for the site to make it go viral to help reach even more people. PM me and I will send you the code to put into the page. I will help out any way I can. It is for a child and I am a father of 3 young children. Everyone who can help should. It is time to come together. That is what makes the Warriors so strong!

Mike you are doing a good thing!
Keep it up buddy!

Regards,
Ryan Bessling

Hi, thanks for bringing this to us Mike ... I tweeted, made a donation, and will send my best thoughts ...

Please keep in touch,

Charann.

Good Luck with the fundraising Sent a little something

I have decided to donate a little bit. I don't have much, heck, right now I don't have much of anything at all, to be totally honest, but I want to do the right thing, and so, I've found some money for her.

I may be poor, but she may die, I wonder what's more important. lol.

Hey this is a good thing going. My parents are still paying for my brothers treatment that he had to go through some 20 years ago. He is better now but it costs miliions even with insurance to treat cancer. So the more they can get the better. Lets just hope that she can get better.

Mike, thanks for the chance to help. Donation sent, and gladly.
Also thanks for standing up for Macy.

Cheers from warm and smiling Thailand,
Charles

Get well Macy! My prayers are with you. Donation sent as well.

Another Update: What a great day!!! Over the past 2 days there were 49 donations with a total of $779.74. Now @ $8,956.54!!! Most of the donations are a result of the members of this forum. Thanks again... Please pray that we get the results tomorrow... I will not be in until late but if I can get access to a computer I will update the forum... It will most likely be late tomorrow night before I can update though.

Thanks again guys. We are getting closer and closer to the goal!! As some have said already, it would be great to bless them even beyond the goal. $10,000 is the goal I set for the website and though it will not cover everything it will be a HUGE help toward covering expenses. You Guys Are Awesome!

Hey team.

I don't the think target has been met yet.

I know many of you maybe not be able to put the money forward to help Macy, but you could put the word out. Thats something everyone could really do. I have told friends over seas, friends at home and all my work co-workers to at least check out the site and make a donation if they can.

Although the momentum has died down on our end, that doesn't mean Macy's situation has got any less serious or terrible.

If you can't donate, please let people know about the site, situation and/or appeal.

Thanks a lot for the update Will.

It was only a few months ago that I went over to Singapore to spend 3 months with my sister after she was diagnosed with stage2 breast cancer.

My sister had her Chemo, then had the 2 lumps and her lymph nodes removed - then they decided that because the biopsy on the lymph nodes showed cancer in many of them that she should have another round of chemo to blast her whole body to try and catch any cancer cells that got spread.

She then had the radiation therapy.

So I know what Macy is going through and what you and her relatives must be going through too - I was in your position very recently so my heart goes out to you.

In my case my sister is now clear of cancer so it was a great relief and I got a text from her today saying she was at the hair dresser, which consider she had no hair until recently was great news

Please don't think that we've stopped thinking about you and Macy or that the donations won't continue.

Regards,

Andy

I just twittered and sent a few dollars. Wish I could have done more....

Small Donation sent

Donated, Tweeted & sent emails out.

Looking forward to the updates.

Col

As you can see by my sig I am also doing what I can for the cause. I'll be posting about this donation on my network of sites as well, likely this coming week. This has been tweeted by me quite a bit since I read of it. I pray for her and that people can see fit to really dig into their hearts and pockets to give all that is needed, if not even more.

Just donated...praying for Macy!

Next person to send me proof of donation will get a free Ebook cover design and header from me if they like.

Just "tweeted" again... (and an "ethical" bump...)

THANKS! Will.

You've done an amazing job helping Macy and you're an inspiration yourself.

I really appreciate you and the effort you've spent in getting the word out and facilitating letting us help.

There are probably way more benefits to what you've done here than just what's happened with the contributions for Macy. I know that many newcomers to this forum don't realise just how different it and the people in it are.

Seeing just how many warriors actually step up and help out in whatever way they can when someone is in need really can make a difference.

There is a big mindset in the IM community online that everyone's out for themselves and will screw anyone over to make a dollar - but example like this thread are able to break that mindset and show that this forum is full of real people with huge hearts.

I'd rather not have a link on Macys website as I think the information on there should be about her - not us, but I appreciate that you're making these offers so that others know that there are real people behind those numbers.

Take care, pass on our wishes to Macy and thanks for everything you're doing - you're a good person and I'm sure she appreciates you even more than we do for what you're doing now.

Andy

I don't know HOW I missed the original thread but I just sent in my donation too!

We're looking forward to hearing good news from the doctors on Macy's treatment!

Wow, that's FANTASTIC News. Thanks for the update!

Will,

I am happy to read this awesome news! I will keep her in my prayers anyway, but this post made my day.

Thanks for sharing.

Mike

Hey William,

Please send this message to Macy for me and my staff!
