$216,900 in 10 days!!! - running total
 
It has definitely slowed but what a milestone! Well done everyone.

The silent majority has spoken up, me thinks.

Praying for the same awakining at the ballot box.

Yep.

It is also interesting comparing the average $ amount donated between the two campaigns.

buckbrush 02-18-2018 10:34 AM

Heart warming.

Battle Rat 02-18-2018 10:34 AM

I consider it money well spent for the family as well as a casting a vote to support the legal process.
The only good thing about the Boushie fund is that it will probably be back into economy in short order.

Positrac 02-18-2018 10:38 AM

Great job to all who donated!

Just wondering, is there a reason we aren’t mentioning what the $200,000 is in regards to or giving a link to the site? I’m sure there are more than a few people wondering what this thread is about...

Dick284 02-18-2018 10:40 AM

Just google Gerald Stanley, Go Fund Me.

Grizzly Adams 02-18-2018 10:42 AM

Money implies solid support, way more than a solicited signature on some meaningless petition.

Grizz

Dick284 02-18-2018 10:48 AM

I just threw another $20 at the fund. Thanks for the reminder Ken.

One week and a pay day for many, should garner a few repeat donations.

Sooner 02-18-2018 10:55 AM

That's awesome. I'm glad to see Go Fund me didn't cave to the protests that Stanley was allowed to have a page like this.

Wolftrapper 02-18-2018 11:07 AM

Good news. I hope it keeps growing.

No reason to block someone who was vindicated by a court of law and a jury. GoFundMe should however require the Boushie fundraising page edit the 'out for a drive' into what they were actually up to: 'out drinking & driving, stealing ATV 's and assaulting people". Leave their fundraiser up, just add some truth to it.

crazy_davey 02-18-2018 11:31 AM

I agree, that is awesome :sHa_shakeshout:

Smokinyotes 02-18-2018 11:49 AM

Should be another 0 on that. Gerald may need it and deserves it after the crap he has been through.

Agree 100%, when I read that line and see how many take it as truth, it makes me shudder to where were at as a society and where were going.

Dick284 02-18-2018 11:54 AM

Not to be pushy, but all the back slapping aside. Who’s antied up more than once?

If you believe it’s so good, how about the challenge of $20 every pay day?!

Good idea, i was thinking about this. Instead of a big donation I should have split it into smaller spaced out ones.

So you are challenging $40/month since most get paid every 2 weeks?

I'm in. are we using our screen names?

It'd be nice to see the Boushie fund go in to a scholarship or some memorial for Colten. Paying it forward would be the right thing to do.

I started with anonymous, and I’ll remain that way.
I won’t post my real postal code either. I read too much about snide FB messages being sent to folks who chose to donate and use their real name.

This isn’t a pecker measuring contest, it’s about doing what you feel is right, and putting ones thoughts into action.

Take quiet pleasure in your knowing you stepped up and donated.

Norwest Alta 02-18-2018 02:11 PM

I haven't donated yet because I'm not sure about using credit cards online. Is it safe? Farmers with firearms said I could send a check or money order in Mr Stanley's name.

Ken07AOVette 02-18-2018 02:33 PM

I have to stay anonymous, any slander with the career I have is very detrimental

You mean to tell me you’ve never ordered from Cabelas, Rock Auto or Amazon?:thinking-006:


Cheques or money orders defiantly removes any and all anonimity from the transaction.

Nope. Cheque, money order or cash.

Is there a issue with how a purchase stuff? Prefer to shop local and if I need something at cabelas I'll get a family member to pick it up and I'll send money. Have no idea what Amazon or that other store you mentioned sells Wouldn't have a credit card if I didn't need it for hotel rooms. Never bounced a cheque if that's what you're getting at?

If you'd like to make a donation in my name I'll gladly send you a cheque.

Positrac 02-18-2018 07:11 PM

Go fund me for Mr. Stanley:

I questioned, you answered.

Nothing more to it.
