You are what makes GBAtemp such an amazing community to be a part of!


Now, as for GoFundMe, they have still not released the funds to Chary, despite saying they would, over 10 days ago. The excuse is their engineers need time to convert the raised amount to dollars, and their payment processing team are trying their best to get it done. To me this sounds absurd, but here we are, 14 days since the fund started, waiting for the cash to be paid out in this emergency situation.[/USER][/USER][/USER][/USER]

Christ, just look at this:

No kidding. They literally just said "GTFO NOW."

The lastest Paypal donations have been added to the GoFundMe - so another big thank you to the following for your generous Paypal donations @Catsinabucket @sarkwalvein @drazenm @xfxmrl @Lia @GamerzHell9137 @x65943 @Elrinth @BowlOfSpiders @jerbear64 @cearp @VinsCool @Minox @Roify @Bubsy Bobcat @Apathetic_Discord @Deathwing Zero @GearCross @draxoon @Issac @B_E_P_I_S_M_A_N @Gallito @misterion (sorry if I missed anyone)

I just want to say I'm amazed at the generosity. It's so endearing to see so many members and even lurkers, some who wish to remain anonymous to come forward and support people in need a at a time like this.

GBAtemp is a community I'm very proud of.

It's not possible to donate over paysafecard right? because if yes, i would go outside and get one

The valet was taking his car, and driving people to get food. He took me and my dad to get pizza. We got back to the hotel, and everyone swarmed around like I was carrying gold bricks. I left a box down in the lobby, for everyone else, and I'm currently eating what might be the best food I've ever had.

Harvey was said to be considered as the biggest disaster ever done. Authorities said that they weren't prepared at all for that. They did took measures, but they never thought of that being stronger than they thought.

And yeah, TF1 (our main channel here in France) talked about the situation of Harvey in Houston.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I'm also very surprised by amounts that people give ! How generous they are !

 

[Bimmel]

Dear Chary,

I'm so sorry that this happened to you and your family. I hope everything turns for the better with time. Stay strong!

I'll see what I can do to help.

 

[deakphreak]

Just donated! STAY SAFE! I have also set up a coupon on my wife's website. The coupon won't give any discount, but will allow me to track orders. If anyone feels so inclined to order anything, I will donate most of the amount, minus costs such as material and shipping to @Chary

Mods, Admins, please let me know if this is ok for me to post. http://crochetbyallie.com enter in coupon code gbatemp on the cart page so the order can be flagged and the amount can be donated to Chary.

The coupon will be valid until the end of September. Also please be aware that due to the nature of the funds being donated, the order may take a little longer to make and ship out since her main orders will be first priority.

It's for a good cause, it's ok I'll allow it.

I sent my donation, but it was overseas. Is this correct? Seems weird to have a paypal donation going outside the USA for someone within the USA... Does she not have her own paypal to send donations to?

It's because T-hug is british, and he started the campaign. Additionally - most of the staff is European.

It converts to dollars, as well, once all is said and done. So it's all good.

Here's a bonus doggo pic

He's been hogging the hotel bed, he seems super tired, poor dog has probably been through a lot, just like everyone else in Houston. He's actually been a little scared, I took him to sit outside for a bit, and he kept whimpering. I don't think he likes being in all these new places. But he's calm now.

I got a response from my insurance company regarding my car--its getting towed to get an inspection. They'll be checking how bad it's wrecked from water damage. Neighbor who has my cats tells me water got back into my house, which is...just...I've got no words for that anymore. I really want to go investigate my house, but since the levee and dam overflow, the roads have closed further.

NBC Nightly News says Houston reached 51" of rain. There's a tank outside, rolling over to a shelter. I have no earthly idea what it's going to do, but it's...there? I'm going to just sleep, for now and not think too hard about things. Much easier to sleep with my dog nearby.

I reckon it's going to drive over to one of the Dams and hold it up.
"Never fear, the tank is here!"

Wish I could've given more, but college is killing me.
Stay strong Chary, we're all rooting for you!

 

[Foxi4]

I'm thoroughly impressed with the response from the community. I gotta say, I'm really proud of all of us. We'll argue over the silliest things (3DS Hacking Section *cough cough*) but when the rubber hits the road, we can come together and do amazing things. Hopefully the trend continues, there's a lot of people in need out there and by the looks of things it seems that @Chary is sharing the love. You go, pizza girl!

I wish I could donate, things at work went south pretty bad the other day. As soon as I can get another job, I will donate, I'm so sorry I can't donate, @Chary
