Spark and Moderators,

A dear friend of mine needs some help. She has two herniated discs in her neck, and spinal stenosis. She is bedridden, in terrible pain. She needs surgery. She doesn't have medical insurance, and she can't afford the surgery she needs.

I can't afford much, but I want to help her. I would like to start a thread here on bladeforums, to raffle and/or auction knives, and also fine art prints of my photography (stuff like this: http://flickr.com/photos/57203173@N00/274760197/sizes/o/ ) to raise money for her surgery.

Please help me by granting me permission to do this, if you can.

Thank you for your consideration.

[Edited to add: No money raised will go to me nor through me. I'll ask for any money, paypal, checks, whatever, to be sent directly to her. This is she: http://www.gloriahopkins.com/ ]

Normally we don't allow this, but I'll make the exception this once.
 
Thank you very much.

If you have a preference as to which forum I post to, or any other preferences and comments, please do let me know.

Thanks, again.
 
You can do it in general discussion. It'll be valid for 1-2 weeks max.
 
Just a quick update:

This has been resolved, and there is no need for a public raffle/auction.

Thank you, again, for granting permission. I do appreciate it, even if we aren't going through with it.

Good to hear.


Excellent photography, BTW. :thumbup:
