I genuinely don’t know how I missed this until now. I hope 2025 brings all the improvement in Alex that he, his family and friends are looking for. Rooting for you Alex.

Stumbled on that Fundraiser now just by chance ... I guess, many, many others have not heard about it either. Is there a chance, to elevate the last $ 2000 to the Main site and have it done this month's ? I just heaved it over the $ 8000 mark and hope, the $ 10.000 Goal can be reached before Christmas. That Stroke can happen to everyone here at any Moment ...

Great shout, when I found it I was in for a couple hundred to take it over the 8k but happy to be the first of the 100 with an additional 20. Let’s see where we get. 99 to go.

Just to update everyone, Greg is back into his accounts (password lockout) and has been in touch with Martha about transferring the first round of the kind donations to Alex so he can pay down some of his bills.

We still have one week until the event and as @watchyouwant said- Christmas & Hanukkah are right around the corner- no reason we can’t keep going to help a fellow brother out.

Thank you to everyone who has donated. Martha has said that Alex is making slow but steady progress. Hopefully he'll be liking and posting again soon.

After being away from the forum for a while, I just saw this. Happy to help a bit, and my best to Alex. I'm just down the road from Baltimore, but can't make the GTG.

What happened ? $ 20 too much to help a Member to cope with a disaster , that could happen to all and everybody here ? Nobody is invincible ; remember that. That`s 4 (!) cups of Coffee ...

You are right! $20 is not too much. I do not know Alex but this could happen to anyone! Get well soon, Alex. I just donated.

I don't know Alex, but how terrible what has happened to him.

At the same time, it is touching to see what this watch community here at OF is capable of - helping a friend.

I just made my contribution.
