In need of immediate help...
With Para's permission, I am posting a "Go Fund Me" due to an unexpected crisis in my family. Medical bills for a multitude of specialists, tests, etc. are snowballing, and now we are far enough behind on mortgage payments that our house has gone into the foreclosure process. We are working on some options, but we need something immediately!

If there is any way anyone here would be willing to help, here is the link to my fundraiser: GoFundMe for "bronicabill"

Replaced with: GiveSendGo for "bronicabill"

I can also accept donations via the following if you prefer that method!

I use all 3 of these, but 95% of the time I prefer Zelle. Your choice though...

My contacts are:


Many thanks in advance!!!

I’m happy I can help, if only a little, Bill.

You’re in our prayers.




Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

I’ve been here on this site for a long time and I am more than happy to help another member in need. It’s not much but I hope it snowballs into all the help you need.

I am so sorry to hear of your trials. Prayers and good vibes as well.

sorry to hear broncobill. I will not use gfm. I am sorry. I am happy to send you some $ but not via them. You can email me your address and I will send a cashiers check. If that is not soon enough I am sorry and wish you the best. Sincerely, orc.

I too would like to pitch in a little, but I thought SF members in-the-know recommended against using GoFundMe for crowdfunding. Aren't there are other alternatives that take much less cut of donations? Maybe Fundrazr or GiveSendGo?

I’m in for $100.

Best of luck.

I had forgotten about that, and I couldn't think of any other sites off the top of my head at that time as I was more than a little "frazzeled"! I will start one on GiveSendGo, and once it is up and running, I'll close the GFM account.

Thanks for the reminder, and thanks to all who have already given!!!

Edit to add: My GiveSendGo is setup and ready to accept donations at: GiveSendGo for "bronicabill"

Thanks again for the reminder, and the donations so far!!!

I just switched over to GiveSendGo if that works for you. If not I will send you my mailing address instead. Thanks!

I hope my small amount helps! I have been in dire straits in my past and was not fortunate enough to have a group like this for support.

I pray for you and yours to not only endure, but prosper! I encourage everyone to lend your support to a friend in need, be it monetary or moral!

God bless!

You're in a tough spot. James 2:15-16 says, "If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'God in peace, bearmed and be filled.' and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?"

You have my prayers and I'll share in your load. I'm sorry you're having to go through this.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
