I know there were a lot of snarky comments so I thought it worth a
rational one. The root of the problem with this cry for help is that
nobody's going to donate if they don't know what it's for.
It's like when a stranger asks you for money on the street; is he really
looking for food or a bottle of whiskey? I tend to assume whiskey.
Did this guy suffer a natural disaster, or does he suffer from having a
weak business model and being uncompetitive? I can understand wanting
to stay private, but I doubt he's getting much help based on this
request. I also appreciate that you wouldn't help this person if you
felt he didn't deserve help, but that doesn't do anything to assuage the
fears of people on a mailing list who are all strangers. With nothing
else to go on we'll have to fall back on assumptions, and they'll be the
same assumptions anybody makes about the guy bumming for money on the
street.

I have been made aware of a WISP that has some financial needs. I have
been asked to keep his name private. If you are willing to help -
ANYTHING helps - send paypal to [email protected] and in the notes
comment "WISP Helper" (or similar). I will see that he gets 100% of
what you send. Paypal costs me 3% or so, but I will cover that part,
too. Thank you!
