[Announcement] BErt needs our help!

[Dave]

Look, I know it's right before the holidays and everyone is hurting, but @BErt has reached out. We all know how hard it is to reach out & ask for help. I don't know all the gory details, but he's going to fill us in.

The link to donate is at the top by New Posts.

Please help if you can!

 

[BErt]

Thanks Dave!

hi everyone, I am really sorry to ask but I ended up messing myself up by moving from my healthcare marketplace plan to my employer plan when I became eligible. I would have assumed it was a positive move but I ended up with an unexpected $250 bill just from trying to renew my medications for the next 90 days. I paid $50 of it but I need to schedule a standard wellness check by the end of the year and need to pay the rest before I can do so. I'm asking for $200 that I can absolutely pay back by the end of January. Thank you so much for any help you can offer

If we're in a situation to help, how can we best get funds to you?

Just because it's not immediately clear if you aren't really paying attention:

It's a little different on mobile (or if you've shrunk your browser window so small that the forum software thinks you're on mobile), but it's there.

[BErt]

One day, and that day may never come, but one day I may call upon you for your services.

 

[Dave]

All done. Didn't even have to sticky the thread. Donation link is now gone. Thanks to everyone who helped out!

 

[BErt]

i didn't forget about this, I just haven't quite gotten back on the footing i expected to after the new year. I will get this returned as soon as i can. thanks again

 

[General Specific]

I, for one, will not mind if I do not get paid back. I gave what I could to help a friend in need. No expectation to get repaid, even though you said you would.

 

[Dave]

Nothing needs paid back. Just pay forward.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

You try to pay me back and I’m sending it back to you again doubled

Hmm, I'm sensing a great business opportunity here.

 

[PatrThom]

I thought of that, too, but once you hit the original amount, it's no longer "paying back" and so going forward the money returned would only be 1:1.

If you want, I actually do need about 15k USD. Once I have the money I can get paperwork filled out that will get me my 50 million dollar inheritance. I will happily double your money as a token of gratitude.
