Can you answer James1212’s question about Fundraising?:
My friend had a freak accident and has thousands of dollars worth of medical bills to pay off. He does not have medical insurance, so I was trying to figure out how to generally set up a fundraiser/benefit. Thank You in advance for your response. This means a lot to me.

Fundraising Feedback: People will tend to help when someone needs a treatment that insurance will not cover. They tend to not help when someone does not have insurance. Bankruptcy is probably the answer if he can not pay his bills.
Anyway… contact a local fire department and see if they will allow a benefit there (or find a restaurant to donate space). Contact a local band to play (ask them to cut you a brake or do it for free). Go to business and put in donation cans with information on the upcoming benefit you planned.
My company has not grown large enough yet, to be able to donate cash donations. it is a process I am working on, so that we may be able to help out organizations, and individual’s like yourself. We do have a gift webstore. I have catalogs, and such that if you wish to receive, that may help fund some expense’s. I do special’s where I can sell wholesale in special case’s like this one. You would not need to purchase before hand. When you received orders, you could contact us. You would send what was due to cover your product cost, and keep what was due to you then, not wait on Mcbryants to reinburse you, or take all the money, and then send you your profit amount. You would keep your profit right then. I hope this may be of some help. Mcbryants will be praying for your friend, and we hope everything will continue to get better, soon!
Sincerely,
Mcbryants
