I have posted a challenge in this thread....we need to raise $2,400 for this guy to keep his basses while he undergoes chemo fro his brain tumor....He is 25 and been diagnosed with cancer and is having to sell his basses.

My challenge is that I need a knuckle head to use his pay pal and I will put the first $100.00 in. Dont feel pressured to give but if you can afford a dollar then
do what you can. If we rtaise the $2,400.00 I will give him the Dargie Delight 2 Big Al that he has on order. He has to promise to never sell the basses.

WE are knuckleheads...lets show him.

Thanks

My father and mother are both cancer survivors and I would do anything to help this young man.

Maybe I'm just too stoopid, but how do I mark my payment as a gift? The only options I can select are "Shared expenses", "Payment owed" and "Others".

Edit: Oh sorry, I completely forgot: Best wishes to you, Erin!
