Help an ailing friend to us all

I'm starting a new thread because the other one on this topic had a vague subject title.

One of SL's kindest and most talented residents, Phoenix Psaltery, is dealing with a pretty severe health crisis. He is still in ICU as of this posting. There are money issues on top of the health issues and the community is banding together to give our support with an auction this Saturday:

RFD Fundraiser for Phoenix Psaltery
Saturday, Aug. 23, starting at noon, at William sim.
Various DJs will provide music, and a wide array of goodies will be auctioned off.
For more information, or a full list of auction items, visit the M2 website (www.metaversemessenger.com) on Friday.

To get the latest news on his condition and the fund-raising efforts, go to this thread:

Thanks to the moderators for allowing this thread and to all of you for your support!

Maybe someone would be kind enough to stick this thread for a while?

I confess to not knowing a lot of the names in that other thread. For people who stick close to these forums here who may also not know them, and if the mods don't mind, having some brief details here would be useful. In particular, who L$/PayPal donations should get sent to and details (like who to send stuff to and what's acceptable) on the auction.


Seconded.

To add to Ray's post...

If you can't make it to the auction, you can contribute directly to Phoenix and Sansarya by sending a donation to Fundraising Moxie.

Fundraising is an alt, created (like Trout's CartelTrustAccount Mumfuzz) for another purpose, but being used as a bank to collect donations.

Ray, I forget who owns the Moxie account. Since I don't know either P2 or Sans personally, maybe you could elaborate, in case anyone is wondering "if I send money to this avatar, will it really get to where it is supposed to go?"

It's been moved to William so there'll be a full sim.

Katt Kongo, managing editor of the Metaverse Messenger, owns that avatar, and is indeed collecting for P2 with that account.

And for what it is worth Sans and P2 (Phoenix) as well as Katt are long term SLers.

I am leery often about these kind of threads but I know P2 has health issues and this is not his first time in the hospital with them.. though it is the worse by far I am aware of.

All three of those people are trustworthy as they come. The money will get there. I am just praying hard for P2. This sounds horrible and I know Sans must be a wreck.

I tend to be leery of this sort of thing too, but I know those involved, I trust 'em. They're not fly-by-night sorts, comin' 'round an saying "oh, gimme teh Lindenz."

Exactly what I meant.

This is one to trust and know that it is a real cause.. and a good one.

The monies collected will be sent to help Sansara with daily bills: food, electricity, etc for the kids, and also for the hotel (she needs a hotel room since P2's room doesn't have a cot) etc.

*nudge* this back up for a worthwhile cause

Katt Kongo is sending the Fundraising Moxie funds daily to Sansarya via Paypal. Things are very tight financially with them, hence all the efforts.

These people are good eggs of the highest order.

.

And that's all I have to say about that. I'll just keep stickying this myself.

I wanted to recommend exactly that over in the "please critque my club, I'm rude and ingracious" thread.





I wish strength and healing for P2 and his loved ones.

Bump for the night owls and people of European time zone persuasion.

If this is legit I truly hope he heals quickly and all goes well but what little I have isn't much and I have been ill myself, I am not making anything to spare to share.

*Bump*

I'm glad you began a new thread on this, Raymond.

I was planning on donating after reading the thread on the other forum (is that the Metaverse one?) but I really appreciate the recommendations of those I interact with and trust here that my donation will indeed be received by P2 and Sans.

and bumpers.

Best wishes

Poeple should be wary of donating money to a cause that isnt a backed by a registered charity and it's irresponsible of the moderators to leave this thread active. Allot of people have money issues and begging on the forums should not be allowed.

Sad to see you would even question it. It is legit. He is on a feeding tube and they are hoping he does not have total kidney failure.

Last time I checked, people unconscious in ICU don't have time to register a charity.

To anyone questioning this, it is legit. He is on a feeding tube and they are hoping he does not have total kidney failure.

If you can't or won't contribute, that's your business and totally acceptable. This is mostly for people who know P2 and Sans. The seriousness of the situation merited the thread. We're trying to spread the word to the as much as possible to caring members of the SL community.

Unfortunately, on the internet, there are simply too many instances of frauds for anyone to just trust simply on the word of strangers.

Phoenix' situation certainly seems to rise above the vast majority of frauds out there, if nothing for the genuineness of the posts in the other forums with status updates (yes, I read them). However, without the benefit of facts and direct, verifiable info, a healthy level of skepticism and suspicion should not be disparaged. Remember that, without such, money that could go to people really in need (like Phoenix) ends up going to fraudsters instead.

Simply put, don't go on the defensive over healthy suspicion and skepticism. People truly in need and those supporting them should also be supportive of it and be willing to supply any info necessary if asked for.

/me wishes things go well for both P2 and Sans.

/me also thinks Porky should get a life, or at least have that stick removed.
