For Gil...

I know that GoFundMe links aren't typically allowed, but I'm making an exception for this one. This was setup by Gil's band-mate....

How did you do that.. I have been trying to remit under this for ages now......even PayPal restrictions have come so I stopped earning online. They have to transfer the money within a couple of days. Right? Forex Facilities for Residents (Individuals) FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT EXTERNAL PAYMENTS DIVISION Frequently Asked Questions 18. How much foreign exchange can one send as gift / donation to a person resident outside India? Any person resident in India can remit upto USD 5,000 in any one year as a gift to a person residing outside India or as donation to a charitable/educational/religious/ cultural organisation outside India. Remittances exceeding the limit require prior permission from the Reserve Bank.

I feel for the situation. But rules are rules. Very sad, though.

@myklj999 It's their site and they can certainly do what they want to. No doubt about that.

I saw this today early and my heart skipped a beat. I was scared it was our Gillygirl but it is a different Gil. Quite sad even so. I should donate but strapped down to empty as usual. Medical and power company killing me. I will pray for your loss though

"The end justifies the means" as Machiavelli said. When it comes to doing good the justification is valid, I don't think there is anyone who opposes it.
