Thanks everyone. Hope everything goes well.
I just consulted a reputed cardiologist to see if my heart can withstand chemo (at risk because of family precedents). It turns out I can. Everything is going according to plan.

Amazing news! Remember to post those kind of updates in the GoGoFund page if you haven't already done so, as others have already said.

It's nice to see things going smoothly after all the trouble you went through earlier.

Very grateful for everything guys.
BobLoblaw was kind enough to help me retrieve some of the funds so I can start this week, hopefully. We're going through the process right now.
It's happening.

Yes! This is fantastic news!

I donated but we still have work to do to reach your goal in time. I am happy to see things progressing a bit for you though. I saw the darkness when this thread first went up and am glad it has converted into some light. Keep on fighting!

Talal, I wish I could donate but I am not in the best financial position right now.

However, it is so heartening to see ERA come together to do this for you, and I'm so glad that you're able to get the treatment you need. All the best.

I kicked in a few bucks. It saddens me that fundraising for life-saving treatments is ever necessary. All the best.

I have no idea what the illness is, but if it's cancer, look up the Moffett Cancer Center. Before going there, my dad was told that his brain tumor was inoperable and given about a month to live. He went to Moffett (In Florida) and they removed about 99% of it. The place is amazing.

This is good advice, particularly with cancer. Always know all of your options before rushing into treatment.

This is not helpful for people living outside of the USA, like Talal.

I know a lot of you want to donate, but may not be in great financial shape. Remember, even a dollar helps. We have thousands of members here. It'll all add up.

Talal, what are you going to do with the funding page? Will you extend the duration? Also, your last update there was December 29th. I know you have other things on your mind, but without updates, people will probably stop checking the site, and stop donating. If you don't feel like writing tons of stuff, just copy and paste the updates you wrote here. I'd love to see pictures of your family. This, and maybe a few photos from when you were a kid, or a few photos from you doing something you love, like, I dunno, maybe playing football or having a swim, or maybe just you eating an ice cream in a café, will let people see you as a person, and feel more empathic to you, and will help show you are a lovely dude who needs help if he wants to be able to do those things worth living for for a long time.

Maybe I'm talking nonsense, just my two cents.

Maybe, if you don't feel like writing those updates, I'm sure someone eloquent here on ResetERA will gladly do it for you, if you give them access to the page.

I tried, but it wouldn't process and I only have one option of paying for the donation. I feel bad, and wish Talal the best. What everyone's done is amazing.

You're absolutely right Patrick. I took some pics today while visiting the cardiologist, want to scan some pics from me when I was a kid too. Not a big social media user and never took a lot of pics so no ready ones. I'm also very very tired (physically and emotionally) and stressed out a lot. I don't get enough sleep neither. I'm dead tired now. I promise to update tomorrow morning, also if someone wants to help me administrate it, send me a pm. I find it easier posting here because I feel like I'm at home.

Talal, even if the fundraising ends slightly before the goal, you can still accept donations or maybe create an additional campaign with a lower goal - right?

I mean, even if it slows down, we WILL hit that damn goal!

Thanks everyone. I removed the date limit on the campaign, with what I have now it's going to take some time before I need the rest.
I also told friends and family to contact a mod here to let you know in the event of my death.
I'm really grateful for everything. Coming from people who share similar passions is also very hearthwarming. Thank you ERA.

BobLoblaw and Talal, please let us know as soon as the funds get into Talal's hands. I will donate more money when I hear that Talal has officially received the first batch so I know for sure he is getting the money. I'm glad the Paypal situation was resolved. <3

I'm putting my little one to sleep but am keeping this tab open as a reminder to help out first thing tomorrow.

What an amazing group this is, chipping in so much already. You're all an inspiration.

Hey, can I paypal someone money and they can pay on my behalf? For whatever reason, the website is not accepting payments from me.

Hey man. I really resonate with your OP. I really feel for you, and I hope you can make enough to pull though. I really, really want to donate, but the only funds I currently get are from taking surveys, and it's not easy to get that onto anything I can actually send to your campaign. I'll try to make it happen, but I'm sorry if I can't.

I hope you the best man. I really, really do.

Edit: I have only 1.75 on my paypal. I'll try to send it over to you, man. I'm sorry, I wish I could give more.

Edit2: Guess only a dollar since I can't add cents. Sorry. x_x

Hi Talal, I couldn't donate as much as I'd have liked, and I'm really sorry about that. I hope the little I could get in there does help.

Good luck, and my fingers are crossed. Please get through this! I'm rooting for you.
