To everyone that thinks this guy came out asking for donations I suggest you go back and reread this thread in it entirety. This dude didn't have a paypal account untill he was talked into it by the community.
Maybe some of you have never had other give you a helping hand. I personally don't know anyone involved and I am donating as well.
If you look down on someone for taking donations when they didn't ask for it please keep your opinions to your selves. These guys did the work and got screwed. An online group has come together to make sure this mistake doesn't cost them more then they can handle. $773 in internet donations were raised thus far and will be put to a good cause.
