I am waiting on permission to update everyone with the specifics of Daddy-O- but I will tell you that his status has changed. As a result, we will be doing one final push for raising money just like we started 2 years ago. After this final push, I will be closing out his fundraising account and sending his family a check. On Monday I will go over the status of the account with the bank and my office manage and post an update to everyone. There is a sense of urgency to get this accomplished.
Here is the information you will need to donate to the Wilson & Family Relief Fund

**Well, here is the official update.
Wilson, a/k/a Daddy-O- is very sick and the brain tumor has returned. It actually returned a while ago. After a valiant effort to stay working, he had to finally stop sometime around November. He put forth a great effort to give his young daughters a good Christmas and after that, his health has steadily and quickly declined. At this time his wife has taken medical leave from work to care for him and he has lost function on one side of his body. At this point they are looking at getting Hospice involved since all treatments have been stopped. We do not expect to see him sign on anymore as his focus is 100% with his wife and 2 young daughters.
This is what I am going to do and want everyone to please pay attention:
On February 16th I am going to close out the fund raising account with the bank, the Paypal account and send the family all of the funds that were received to date. In order to close this out, you will need to ensure that all donations are received by February 10th because we need those days for checks to clear (those that still use checks and snail mail) and for the final Paypal funds transfer which takes 3-4 business days.
Therefore I ask each and every one of you:
1) If you are sending a check via USPS, please make sure that we receive it by February 10th. (see link below for more information)
2) If you are using Paypal, please make your donation by February 10th so we have time to transfer it.
3) Donate and donate as quickly as possible, please do not waste any time.
If any of you have been through this you will understand the urgency and the great burden that this puts on the family emotionally and financially. This is the least that we can do. Normally I am doing my own fundraising for this website this time of year but I have decide to postpone it until after February 15th.
A huge thank you from each and everyone of you that has donated to Wilson's family fund. We may disagree and have fun at each other's expense but at the end of the day we are human and need to take care of each other.
I am proud to own this forum and more than proud of the members for making this forum possible and allowing it to grow to a point to where we can now raise thousands of dollars for one of our own in need.
Regretfully I have to share this new,
Jeff
