I know it seems like we're dragging our feet on this, but there is a lot going on and it may be some time before and IF we can take care of Ed. There are a number of options for doing this and much will depend on what his family is going to do. For the purpose of THIS thread and poll-- I am only asking how much you are willing and able to commit/pledge to a flat out fundraiser for Ed. Our options depend on how much we can raise. So, be generous. At some point, in the near future, we will ask for the money that you pledged. We are trusting the honor system for this because we don't want to put anyone on the spot. Remember- you contribute what you can. No judgements here. But, try to reach as deep as you're comfortable doing. This will let us know how to proceed. Payment details to follow. So, to recap- How much are you able to contribute towards what ever we are able to do for Ed? ALL THE REST AND THE DETAILS WILL BE WORKED OUT LATER. I will keep everyone up to date in another thread.
UPDATE 6-24-23
beefjello Brian has been kind enough to forward my info to Ed's brother in law. I'm thinking we have enough pledges to do what we want to do. It will still depend on what the family is doing, but we have the funds regardless. So, I am closing the pledge poll. If you still really want to donate, you can pm me.
Thank you everyone!! You have really pulled through for Ed. This is a testament to how much he was loved and admired.
I'll be posting again soon about collecting the pledges from both the poll and PMs.

Well, I see I messed up the poll. Polls can't be fixed, so I'll leave it the way it is. 250 is missing.
If you choose "other", please PM me with your amount so I can keep it in mind for the total. You can also choose "other" to select 250.
If you choose "over 250", please send me a PM.
Thanks!

I'll auction a MFRB of high grade coprolites soon and all the proceeds will go to this cause.

How much I can donate will depend upon when the money is asked for. Did I just pay car insurance? Quarterly income taxes? Dare to go to the dentist? Etc. But I will pledge at least $50.

I know this is pinned, but I'm giving it a bump for those who look for threads in Recent Topics or Recent Posts. Update is in the OP.

It says the poll is locked. Can it be unlocked or should people just let rockjunquie know if they want to pledge? I already pledged, but more may be interested in helping.

Beth, I added an update about it in the original post. Basically, y'all have come through and pledged enough. But, if anyone still wants to they can PM one of the staff to have their contribution included, too.

I know it seems like we're dragging our feet on this, but there is a lot going on and it may be some time before and IF we can take care of Ed. There are a number of options for doing this and much will depend on what his family is going to do. For the purpose of THIS thread and poll-- I am only asking how much you are willing and able to commit/pledge to a flat out fundraiser for Ed. Our options depend on how much we can raise. So, be generous. At some point, in the near future, we will ask for the money that you pledged. We are trusting the honor system for this because we don't want to put anyone on the spot. Remember- you contribute what you can. No judgements here. But, try to reach as deep as you're comfortable doing. This will let us know how to proceed. Payment details to follow. So, to recap- How much are you able to contribute towards what ever we are able to do for Ed? ALL THE REST AND THE DETAILS WILL BE WORKED OUT LATER. I will keep everyone up to date in another thread. UPDATE 6-24-23
beefjello Brian has been kind enough to forward my info to Ed's brother in law. I'm thinking we have enough pledges to do what we want to do. It will still depend on what the family is doing, but we have the funds regardless. So, I am closing the pledge poll. If you still really want to donate, you can pm me. Thank you everyone!! You have really pulled through for Ed. This is a testament to how much he was loved and admired. I'll be posting again soon about collecting the pledges from both the poll and PMs.
its my busy season at work so i have not been on here much at all so sorry to hear the news Ed was always a great dude and posted lots of fun stuff ! if you come up short or need anything please let me know we can get it handled !

Yes, losing Ed was a loss and a shock.

Ed was just a young kid, but he smoked, and cancer got him.
