#TeamRiley - FBGs Band Together (1 Viewer)

Done, thanks guys for setting this up and organizing.  My wife thinks I am crazy I follow this site but it really is a great community. 

 
WOW!!!!   $2,250 in 2 hours!!

I take back every bad thing I ever said about Footballguys.  You guys are incredible.  Proud to be associated with this place.  :thumbup:

 
How does GoFundMe work once we hit the goal? Is there any point in raising it?
it's sort of prefer to see that something blew past a goal.. sort of a psychological boost that makes it look like it's something really worth doing...

 
GM and Capella, thanks for doing the work on this, and thanks, Harry Manback for the PM. I went through something similar, and empathize with the ####storm that shady and his family are going through. It meant a ton to us that people would be so generous, and donated time and money and food to take care of us. I'm happy to pay it forward.

 
Yeah, let's let this run for a few days and see if we can keep the efforts quiet for as long as we can.  There's been an offer to put this link on another message board Shady belongs to, but posting it there will no longer keep our efforts secret.  Which is fine, but let's let him discover this first, then post over there for more contributions, then shut it down and turn the discretionary funds over to Shady and his family.

In the meantime, there have been positive developments in Riley's prognosis and Shady can use us in his thread for support and good vibes.  Feel free to direct traffic here as best you can.  Look around, if you don't see a FBG here yet and you think they'd like to help, send 'em here.

Great work today!  This place is special.

 
Hope that didn't come off callous. I really don't know. I imagine at some point it'll just be the right time. 
Nothing you/we do is callous in this situation - and we all know that.  This is about 2 things, shadyfamily and Riley. 

Handle it however you best see fit.  :thumbup:    We got your back Cappy.

Great work, GM and Capella. Even if his insurance covers 100%, there must be hidden costs and incidentals out the ying-yang.

 
Donated to the Cappy vacation fund.  Just saw that shady posted a picture of her.  She looks like a fighter. :)

What got me thinking about this was when the poor guy said he might not have enough leave to take off work. I don't know what he makes but I figured if we could raise enough money where he could tell that place to get ####ed for a few weeks or a month then great. 

 
How many people know about this thread?  I saw a PM with a couple hundred people on it, but I have since deleted it so don't know who was on there or how they were chosen.  I'm going to send a PM to 10 random people I know here in case they don't know about this.  Hoping others spread the word.

Harry Manback sent out the broadcast to about 200 people, to all that had replied in Shady's thread up to a certain point. I picked off one poster in the thread that posted late and sent him a PM, but man, it's tedious work trying to perform the rinse/repeat on that. ... doing the Control-F on Harry broadcast on posters at the bottom of Shady thread, and then making sure those identified had not already replied this thread.

Technology is an ###.

I sent a PM to a couple that I didn't see on it. Even if they were and I missed it, this is a good time for a little FFA togetherness (and peer pressure).

Every little bit helps and that kid is a beautiful fighter. This from a guy that doesn't have nor want kids.
