Aaron - It was not my intention to be a distraction on the forum, as I said , it makes me sick to my stomach to do all this, I only hope that people understand the full scope and why I had to weigh it. I sincerely appreciate your willingness to put things in perspective by saying
"If Lee wants to make good on the $200 and repay us in the future, that's between us and him. But for the sake of everyone involved (especially your brother), we'd like to settle at least part of this debt."
Also, jIgG , thank you for your inputs regaurding universities and foundations. Unfortunately with this particular brain tumor, its an inoperable tumor located on his brainstem, and the only "treatment" possibilities are very limited clinical trials (experimental treatments) for chemo and radiation treatment possibilities that are not even near 100% (there hasnt been a successful one according to the medical professionals we are dealing with) and will exceed the tens of thousands of dollars mark, again with no guarantees as to success. Seeing how time is of the essence, we are trying to make this count by doing something like a fundraiser for a vacation, etc, but yes, I have also contacted some foundations and universities but so far there hasn't been any real response.
To Bec - Regaurding my intentions here to motivate Lee to pay me what he owes me, this is not an ATTACK, and i haven't bashed him either, but I do question his character.
He said "i really want to say a lot more than i have but it would be counter-productive and tempers will fly" , what could he possibly have to say to a person he owes money to for work done six months ago, and REFUSE to pay, so that I can help my ailing brother pay some bills.
And you are wrong, he HAS NOT told ME why he isn't in contact and has no funds to give me, just that he cannot pay me...
I don't know Lee's personal situation, but..I cant imagine it being worse than my brother's, or he would have said by now.
I don't have to bash him, his lack of compassion speaks for it self.
And to those people who have privately made extreme suggestions and affirmations regaurding Lee Windsor, well, I wanted to give him one more chance to redeem himself here on his own board in front of people who
are wondering about him.
I sincerely do want to put this behind me and am hoping that Lee will reconsider his actions, as even though I am angry, I am willing to forgive.
Back to Aaron again, I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the public's help, that wasn't my intention at all.
On the contrary, I am humbled.
For those of you that want to pitch in to cover Lee's debt:
http://leesdebt.chipin.com/lees-debt-to-syd
But For those of you who want to send directly a donaton to my brother outside of this business with Lee and I, please contact me , I will send you whatever you prefer, my brother's paypal, the address of the hospital he has been getting the CATscans, the bank account where we setup the care & trust fund, whatever you like. Also, I have been working on a chipin page off of the website of our rescue group where my brother volunteers in animal rescue, if you want to contribute that way instead, just let me know. We are raising funds for a kayak trip for him.
Thanks very much from the bottom of my heart.
Sydney
