Okay, first off, if you have not heard, Sarah's husband Marc passed away today.
People wanted to donate money to her, so I have offered to handle donations for people that want to donate thru ePassporte. While ePassporte usually only allows 5 incoming transfers every 24 hours, they have graciously increased that number to 100 every 24 hours until Monday! Thank you Kate, and ePassporte. So, if you wish to donate anything at all, my ePassporte account name is pimpspromo - please make a memo that it is for Sarah's fund. So far I have received donations from: Goebbels Himler Hitler Hess Putzmontek Quazimodo UPS PLO USPS Karamazov Brothers Henry UnKissinger Pope Bonnie and Clyde HoShiMin Trotsky Lenin Marx Engels Mao Gandi Stalin Malenkov DaVinci + Code Anyone wishing to donate via Paypal can do so by sending donations to sales@shipme.com Thank you to one and all |

I'm goin' with what nick said.
It's a tragedy for sure, and I really do feel for her, but she probably has life insurance on her husband. IF she didn't and needed money for the funeral, i'm sure everyone would help and take care of it. But the half mill she will probably get from life insurance is not going to bring her husband back. I can't imagine what 5k from gfyers etc is going to do to comfort her.  I don't mean to sound like a dick.... I really am very sad for her and the family.

Well apparently there is no big policy for her so I guess she does need some cash.
My only thought was that if she did have a good policy, that the people on gfy,most of which really need their money so their dialup does not get shutoff, were donating away their own families much needed money. I guess i'll recant my previous thought. Sent a 50 spot to help with the funeral, not that it'll do much good.

I hope Opranuts learns a lesson to make sure plans are made for all possibilities.
No one like to pay insurance policies, but when the shit hits the fan, they are there for a reason. Life insurance, is just as important as car, and health insurance. It is not for you, but for those you leave behind.

Sarah's husband had been ill for many, many years and was wheelchair bound. I seriously doubt he was ever able to get a life insurance policy. He also has children and I would suspect the bulk of any thing he has would go to them.
I don't think people are sending money as a way to support her, but rather as a tangible and practical token of their thoughts from all over the world. Flowers die but a few $'s here and there might buy her a nice night out, a mani/pedi, a book, movie, etc. and give her some glimpse of joy in an otherwise horrific period in her life. She's also thousands of miles from her family and it could help with plane tickets, hotel rooms, time taken off work.... As with all donations, if you don't want to donate, don't

Peaches, I am glad you shed the lights on Sarah and her husband's misfortune. We didn't know, and when we didn't know,
asking for donations for Sarah here has the same probability of success as to asking the donations for Sarah at boards.com Have it occured to you that Sarah is NOT the part of Oprano's family?

I'd make a point that people are able to donate anonymously if they wish... I know your intentions are good.. but the post's wording will be turning some people around here away from donating. I hope Oprano Family all do donate though! RE: Mikes Point about insurance... For Australians, you can walk into most of the major banks, answer a few simple questions, and have them insure your life for under $1/day taken from the account monthly. It may not be suitable for the seriously ill... and isn't a replacement for a longterm life insurance scheme as max payouts are usually 250-500k, but if you have nothing else, one of these is definitely worth having. There isn't a medical or even any forms to fill in at Westpac..... and they cover death from many pre-exisitng conditions after 12 months too. I suggest anyone that isn't covered and lives down here should ask about your bank's accidental death and life insurance offers when your next there. |

She has worked for Todd and Webinc for several years, she's been in the business for as long as I can remember and she's contributed almost 900 posts to this board. Whilst you might not consider her "family", she's not exactly someone off the streets, IMHO. Again, if you don't want to donate, don't. If you want to donate to putting my boobs back to their pre-30's postition, feel free to do so  I'm headed to Atlanta to pick up my baby boy, so everyone have a great Thanksgiving!

Sorry I thought kindness of this sort was to be done privately and not..
"Look at me I gave" The first way is laudable. The second way is errr marketing , and tacky , IMHO. |

Not sure why I am responding, must be a glutton for punishment or something.
First off, for those that don't think that little contributions help, we have people that are donating as little as $1, and some as much as $500 - it all adds up, and so far there has been over $6,000 collected. Funerals are expensive, and based on Marc's medical history, I have doubts that life insurance was available. The currency exchange rate is probably going to knock the hell out of the end donation, but it will help. As far as Sarah not being family, I have a feeling that there are many here know her, I just thought I would pass the info along. As far as naming people, there are people that did not want their name listed, and one that just said "one of the Oprano family." If someone doesn't want their name listed it is very easy to include that in the memo, as intelligent people have figured out. I did not list the amount individuals contributed for the specific purpose of keeping it from being a "contest." However, some people like getting the confirmation that the money was received, and I personally feel that people should be thanked for their assistance. I am an asshole that way. Like Peaches said, if you don't want to donate, don't. Please. |

I just can't believe you said that. you should be disgusted in yourself. using a thread about someone we have all known for years who works for the company who did your board design to start a piss or make some kind of cold, shallow point - when her life partner just died. I hope Sarah doesn't read this thread. all the rest of you who thought ANYTHING other than kind thoughts for Sarah you should be ashamed of yourselves. i'm embarassed and ashamed to be associated with this board. who gives a fuck *how* someone goes about doing something helpful, its more than can be said for all of us. the oprano family is a fucking joke. |

IMHO Nick is right ...it should be a private thing but its not that big a deal..certainly it doesnt call for ctriticism of baddog who is at least making the effort.
Pushpills you should shut up for 5 years ..making uneducated guesses/assumptions like that is inappropriate ...but understandable as you are barely pubescent and have the brains of a rocking horse. Serge ..why not say nothing you heartless prick...You lose a DOG and everyone kisses your arse about how sad it is..Sarah who posts here a lot ,and works for someone who is well respected here , loses her husband and you "can't give a rat's ass " .. are you drunk?..can you spell kharma ? Its about as tasteful as your embarrassingly ludicrous art "collection"

When soliciting donations for a good cause, it's often useful to let other people know who is contributing. There is a difference between telling someone who has donated and telling someone you have donated.
As far as side discussion going on here ... class always shows.
