Group Donation for Tim Mastin (erinstubby)'s family - Raised so far: $5,040! WE DID IT!

gumbyfan · December 18, 2008 5:34AM

As you likely read in the other thread, Tim Mastin (erinstubby from the CU Boards) passed away last week. Tim was a great member of these boards and will be missed by many.

Tim left behind a wife and three children. I am organizing a group donation for them here on the CU boards. Please click on the donation link in my signature below if you are interested in participating! I will be matching all paypal fees so that 100% of every donation will be sent through to Tim's family. Please be sure to include your CU board member name with your donation.

Thanks to everyone has participated in every possible way!

I'm in for a donation of $100.00. Also sent a PM.

gumbyfan · December 18, 2008 5:52AM

All PM's have been responded to. I have a meeting to go to in a few minutes, but will be back later to respond to more and update.

If you would like to send your donation via Paypal, I will cover the difference for the fees, so the entire amount of your donation will be passed along to Tim's family.

Thank you!

Donation sent, thank you for heading up this donation process.

Erin, I am very sorry for your family's loss. I hope this donation can help ease the burden of the monetary expense this kind of loss can bring. My heart aches for you and your children tonight. I'll be sure to squeeze my two Nephews extra tight this Christmas in Tim's honor.

I just walked in the door at home and there were more donations and even more PMs requesting information. I am going to reply to everyone right now, but wanted to bump this up with the new total. Amazing.

Thanks to everyone!!

lawnmowerman · December 18, 2008 10:10AM

WOW! That is great!

bman90278 · December 18, 2008 10:27AM

I just wanted to say that everyone that gave any donation for any amount is simply incredible!!!!!!! I know for a fact that your donations will be appreciated for more than anyone will ever imagine!

God bless you all!

I'm trying to save up for college (that's why I haven't been buying lately) but I'll see what I can do...... I'll let you know.

TheMcgwireMuseum · December 18, 2008 10:31AM

$855 is amazing, I couldn't believe how high it's gotten already. But, I know we can do better. Even $5-$10 will go a long way, so no amount is too small to send. I am going to be looking through my stuff and join elemenopeo's charity thread, with Tim's family being the recipient. Even if I can only get $10 for an item, its still $10. I hope other's can do the same.

BunchOBull · December 18, 2008 10:34AM

Wow, that's great, I was hoping this would get to $500. Now it looks like $1000 is doable. Thanks again for organizing this Craig.

lawnmowerman · December 18, 2008 11:34AM

Come on guys. Let's get this thing over $1000.00

I had to evacuate from my apartment complex about 90 minutes ago due to someone deciding to burn out in the underground parking. There was burnt rubber smoke all through the building.

I'm finally back now and just replied to all PMs and updated the total. Thanks again to EVERYONE!!

PM sent Gumby.

God sheds a tear with us and his family.

Darin · December 18, 2008 2:38PM

Gumby and others.
I didn't ask Craig this by PM, but was wondering if he was going to send a condolence card, along with the check, expressing how sad our group here was upon learning of Tim's passing.
Was wondering what others thought, using 4-5 bucks of the money for a sympathy card from all of us.

I'm actually planning to pick up a condolence card to send with the check. I will spring for that, there's no need to take it out of the fund.

edited to add: and with that, I'm off to get some sleep. I will update the numbers in the morning and will reply to any more PMs at that time. Thanks again to everyone for all of your generosity!!

Darin · December 18, 2008 2:44PM

Craig,
Cool, thanks for doing that.

I am in. Truly an amazing total. Way to go!

Joewoowoo · December 19, 2008 1:21AM

I will be sending a PM shortly to make a donation to the Mastin family.
I would like to know if PSA, Carol, Joe Orlando , the PSA company have made a donation in any way. Its my opinion that since Tim was a PSA supporter that now would be time for them to give back. remember folks its the holiday season , its a time of year do something that you an be proud of.

nightcrawler · December 19, 2008 1:58AM

gumbyfan, this is thee single most greatest thread I've personally seen in my few years here.

We all hope the very best for Tims family, but you have found a way to let us do just a little more.

It brightens up the sadness of Tims loss, and I feel honoured to help out in a small way.

Thanks bud... PM sent.
