letters for chi/ fundraiser/ update and prayers

[shine down unshy]

Damn..poor Chi.  You'd think that they'd have the money to pay for all that shit but they aren't a super popular band like U2 or something.  If I had money, I'd give it away to help Chi in a heartbeat.

They have money bro, he has to have some equity

Hi! (please pass this on everywhere you can once you read! Thanks!!!)

I've found a free, easy way to raise money for Chi Cheng, just by searching the web or shopping online.

is a search engine powered by Yahoo! Search and ....., the internet's first online shopping mall where a portion of each purchase is donated to your favorite cause.

See it for yourself at:



Here's what makes  so useful:
> It's free, fast, and easy-to-use
> The donation is $0.02 per qualified search (no hidden fees, no limits) PLEASE no fraudulent searches or they will remove our cause!
> Donation checks are sent every month
> You can keep track of your individual contributions
> If you shop online, up to 26% of each purchase via  also benefits this cause

Please give it a try! The numbers may seem small at first, but we all search the web hundreds of times every month, and our combined efforts can add up to real funds for a great cause. And since it's powered by  (a site that has been helping causes raise money online since 1997), we know it's not just a flash in the pan!

Thanks!
Gina

What is considered a fraudulent search?

[oneloveforchi]

What is considered a fraudulent search?

well if you sit there all day and try to abuse the system. if you just use it to search as you naturally would - that is fine. we earn .02 per search.. if everyone started doing this - over time it could rack up. every penny helps. and hell - we're searching the web anyway.. why not help a brother out?

I'm gonna lock this thread until there is some sort of official notice. I know you're trying to do a nice thing and I'm sorry if you are indeed an honest person,but you just registered today and are asking for members money.  So get this published on the official board or myspace and we will open this up again no problem.


Thanks

I'm a bit behind here, what site are you talking about?

[devilinside]

I had to delete the link until we got an official statement confirming this. But from my take,things are looking legit and we'll have it up soon.

[bIondie]

that was a smart move. even if the site is legit, many sharingtards are way too trusting.

[Sugartolove]

I agree you have to be careful, especially if somebody's asking for members' money. I completely understand that, especially with so much fraud going round.

But Gina is the real deal. I kinda know Chi's family a little through my Chi Myspace, and Gina is very close to the family. If you go to the website and read Ming's blog, you'll see that she is mentioned several times in his blog (Ming is Chi's older brother)

Jeanne, Chi's mom,  posted (on the Get Well soon Chi Cheng Card Myspace)  about the horrendous cost of his hospital bills. As of January 16 the insurance stopped paying. First hospital bill was $615000 and air ambulance alone is $42000. Hospital bed alone was $55000 in the last hospital.  I spoke to her (on the Get Well Soon Card) vaguely about setting up a website where fans could help donate money (March 1) and she was going to look into it. Then amazing Gina has gone above and beyond in organising a fantastic website. If you go on her Myspace, you'll see she is close friends with his closest family. I just thought I'd throw in my two cents - moderators obviously have to be vigilant, especially when money is concerned.

All I can say is that I see first hand how sweet his family is and how much our support means to them. I wish I could do more to help them out.
I donated money though, and when I'm not completely broke, I will donate more.

As I don't have to pay medical insurance, I know know much about it but why would the insurance stop?

[Martin]

Chi's amazing family have set up a website for Chi, he is still in much needed medical care and if you can make any donation for him it will go a long way in helping him get better, I visit him every weekend and I know firsthand how insane his medical bills are, unfortunately health insurance in this country doesnt go a long way when you have a serious health issue, so please check out the site, www.oneloveforchi.com and you can read about his progress and what you can do to help. Also if you have some free time in the day please send some positive energy his way, he is an amazing person and the more we can send positive vibes his way the sooner we can have him back stronger than ever..thank you..
love you cheng!!
