Hold on a little bit. I am working in the background with Jamie, who is a trusted member and an honorable marine to investigate and make sure this is real. Jamie volunteered and if we can help a Vet's child in need on Christmas we 'll sure do that and I pledged to Jamie myself. But it needs to be legit.

The poster below has been a member only since Nov 1st. no email address was left and I received no response.

Those who are here with us for years and years have seen plenty of scams that took people's money. I won't let that happen again if I can. No one is allowed to willy Nilly come here and start a fundraiser and hope because it is such an honorable cause, I won't interfere. NEEDS TO BE LEGIT.

EMAIL don't post here to respond.

i think steve in conn needs to grow a set and get to know who i am before he assumes the worst i didnt even post anything where i could scam anyone im asking for suggestions

[jwh2]

Since he can't contact you perhaps you should contact him to resolve this. You had people wanting to help out. See it through to the end.

Hello Tony,

This is an honorable and kind thing that you are doing ! Nothing touches the heart like a child, and a Veteran in need.

I see that you have your e-mail address posted here, and that is a BIG PLUS !

Contact Steve, and explain this to him and I'm sure he will pitch in himself, ounce he sees this is a legitimate request.

There are so many scams on the Internet, especially during the holidays, that even the best of them must be questioned so that evil persons are not rewarded for false charities.

We need to be careful here. Gene and I have very strong feelings about solicitations, especially when it come to money or setting up accounts and money exchange of any kind on the GTA forum as is the same on most other forums also. If someone wants to donate something to someone out of the kindness of their heart that's one thing but no solicitation.
