ANDY WILL HAVE HIS SURGERY TOMORROW - RELAX! |
|
Andy has a check to give the hospital to cover the amount they have not already received. It's a loan against the money that has been donated, in case Pay-Pay can't be unlocked today. No way are we going to let Andy miss his surgery!
I did reach someone in disputes resolutions, who did take the issue seriously and promised to work on it. Also, sfexpat is working with paypal and the hospital.
:grouphug: for Andy

6. I tried to get through to PayPal... |
|
It was voicemail hell. I never did get to speak to a human.

8. Also, I hope Skinner and the Adms and the Mods forgive .. |
|
Andy for putting a thread up (that got locked), and I'm sure they have or don't think there is anything to forgive.
Andy's under a whole lot of pressure.
We found a way to get things done without breaking DU rules.
We need Andy thinking about getting well.
Kudos to all DUers!
I still say this will go down as one of the better Progressive Movement actions in the long run.
Supporting Air America will be another.

11. Maybe Paypal could be given some additional incentive. |
|
Not that it's material to the situation, but they may feel more empathetic if they're brought into the fold as their service was used as a vehicle for many of the contributions.
This could turn out to be good PR for them. How about a testimonial (explaining Andy's plight and thanking them for their involvement) that they could post on their web site!! They could even be encouraged to become a "partner" in fundraising...Just my two cents...

... calmer heads always prevail. Perhaps the whole timing "fiasco" we have just seen had to do with them double checking for security reasons and someone waiting for the "next manager above me" to give it the OK.
I am not affiliated (currently) with PayPal, but I have never had a problem doing online purchases through them.
I post this in hopes of fostering better understanding between us all.

18. Does anyone have any GOOD lamestream media contacts? |
|
Not email addresses to media types that are not personally known, but a live human who might work this into a story that will get covered. It's a perfect hook for a story about the power of them there internets!!! Media coverage might also persuade JH to give him a break on aftercare....you know the old saying, any publicity is good publicity, and they might be motivated if the publicity is handled right.
