We are able to do tags (There is even people in this thread with tags), but I'm not sure if they are given out randomly based on the whim of the administration like on the old site.
Please tell me the treatment has started! Hoping everything is going well brother. You're so close to having the goal fulfilled!! Did BobLoblaw wire the entire required amount? Because if so that is insane! Fkn legend!
Bob already got some money to Talal. It will take a few more days before the rest but a good chunk is already with Talal. The rest will come as they come in so keep the donations pouring in! We are pretty close to the goal.
After days of Paypal errors, I finally got my donation to go through. Wishing you the best of luck. We're all rooting for you!
I keep the tab open 24/7 to see the donations go up everyday. Cool to see :) Glad it’s going well for you! And good job bobloblaw.
I'm also getting paypal errors when I try to give a donation with my credit card, what's the best thing to do? Try again tonight/tomorrow?
What ended up working for me was just switching credit cards. Tried a bunch of times with my first one over a couple of days with no success, and my second card worked right away. Guess PayPal is just really finicky.
Pitched in a little more. We've never directly communicated, Talal, but I wish you all the best. Been checking the gogetfunding page all week. Also massive props to BobLoblaw for all his help.
Hey guys. BobLobLaw wired me the remaining money to my bank account and I will be receiving them next Wednesday at the latest. Thank you for making this happen everybody.
Wow!!! What generosity. Really happy for you man. I can't imagine how moved your loved ones must be. Keep fighting!
Hell yeah man, you've got this shit. I'm excited for the follow up thread three years from now where you let everyone know you're cancer free
Couldn't donate via my PayPal account either (error message) but it worked via the credit card option.
I'm gonna toast to your health a betterment tonight Talal. So amazing to see this progress since you made the thread 2 weeks ago.
How did I miss this thread? I have goosebumps down my entire body. I did not expect it to end with a 2/3 funded edit, or with near full funding by the last post! This community is amazing, and so are you. I have no doubts; you're going to punish cancer.
I don't know if this has been brought up before but at this point, shouldn't we be donating via BobLobLaw directly?
Happy to help! :) I only wish I could've gotten things through faster. Thanks to everyone for supporting Talal in this! He's a great guy and absolutely deserves a fighting chance. Please continue to show your support however you can. He's got a tough fight ahead of him, but he's ready!
Tried to donate but keep getting paypal errors. Will try again tomorrow and maybe switch cards. You guys are amazing to have done all this, I want to contribute too even if it's only a bit.
Donated. Fight buddy! Hang in there, I watched my sister go through a brutal, fast moving breast cancer they weren’t sure she’d make it out of - while pregnant! They’re both still here happy and healthy - Miracles happen all the time! Keep your spirits up and your mind moving forward, you’ve got too many things to do yet! “Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win.”
Wow 90%! Good luck with the treatment Talal ! Never give up! The mind is your strongest ally in the tough battle ahead !
Doing my part now. My father is a survivor of Hodgkin Lymphoma, so this hits close to home. - OP, let me know if you'd like to speak with him about anything... - Meanwhile, I hope my donation helps.
