Fund Raiser for Hans and his family

[euro]

Agreed. We're SA and let's send a chunk of change from our community. If you guys have an idea of the best way to do this we will get it going asap. Let me know.
That picture is a stark image of just what has been lost. Damn, I'm sorry for the family. I fully expect our people to do what they can.

Ed, all I can think off is to open up an account and start getting the donations in quicksmart. I think there'll be a whole swag of people ready to go in on this one. Whilst this happening we can allways figure out if theres's better ways of doing things but let's get started in the interim... It's now 12am Saturday morning here in Oz and I think I'd run into a bit of trouble trying to open up an account at this time. However I'll be the 1st one to x-fer the goods. Am a "clog-wog" in Oz and although I didn't know Hans personally, sailing the ABN VO60 during the Melbourne stopover and being close with the ABN community, somehow this feels really close to my chest... We've had the words, now its time to show some of the actions SA can put in motion worldwide...

PayPal would be handy.

PayPal would be perfect, the easier you make it for people the more likemy they are to contribute.

Will call my attorney this AM.

We do a lot of business via Pay Pal. It would be easy to set up another Item (the donation) within our account for people to go to. Unless there is a reason why not, we'll have it going today.....

He has a huge smile in every picture. Impossible to view those pictures without having a tear in your eye.

[PNWGuy]

Great idea, I'm definately in

 

[MR.CLEAN]

We are anxious to contribute.

 

[Editor]

I know you are anxious and I love you guys for that compassion. Dawg is in the process of getting it going. Stand by.

ABN is having a meeting today and will post direct to the site regarding a fund for sailing anarchy to set up.

 

[cms]

Anarchy at its most anarchistic.... its why we come here.

When we laugh, we laugh together, when we hurt, we share it.

I KNOW that, in time, Hans's family will be warmed by what happens here.

Thanks Ed, I really appreciate your help and didn't intend to put any additional pressure on this. However I couldnt help but think that if everyone would donate (as it appears they want to) during posting messages on SA, plus maybe linking paypal to other sites such as Dailysail / Volvo / Clubracer.be and others we'd be on our way to making a difference.

Again, many thanks for your help.. It's a pretty unique and incredibly powerfull global community we have here. I can't wait to see what we can really do if we set our minds to it...

Set up Paypal and I am in also. I see my 22month old daughter in that picture and would hope someone would do the same for me if I met the same fate.

Go Ed!!

 

[War Dog]

At a loss for words I look at those pictures and think about the child/ family and am just devastated………..……Dam I'm in with a little extra from my 2 year old daughter.

 

[DigitalVibrations]

Count me in also.
