I, like my friend, would prefer more sending, and less talking about it.  We don't need Richard feeling obligated for anything.

Just do it.

Richard:  Per our original plan for Helsinki:  I will be happy to cover the cost of transport to and from... Or if you are going to fly, I can meet you at the airport.  Your call.. we are all here for you brother....

Call me or PM...

Richard,

He should have recieved several e-mails by now from here and PayPal sends them as well so he may just be taking the time with Valya to work out what they want and need to do and how they are going to go about doing it.

The only question now is: "How the heck to I explain my membership to my wife?"  :o

It's amazing how the folks here at RWD come together. We come across as a disfunctional family most of the time, but when a "family" member needs help we all come together ;D.

Richard

 You've read my e-mail, let me know.

I've never had a PayPay account before and it was a bit of a hassle to set this up,,, but as soon as Richard lets me know he got the test transfer, I'll send a bit more.

In this case prayers won't help much,  let us know when you've sent $300-400 cash.

Alpo, you are such a pussy.

Not when it comes to bailing out a friend who needs cash instead of prayers.

Alfie:  Sometimes religion MUST take on a very PRACTICAL aspect if it is genuine.  There is nothing wrong with your praying, but this sitution also requires some practical action.

This thread is amazing!!  I am shocked by the kindness expressed here. 

However, I think someone should call Richard to make sure he is OK and to make sure it is Richard who has been posting.  (Although his "vent" had a Canadian Cowboy twang to it!)  It wouldn't be good if something really bad happened to him and the money ended up elsewhere.

Timothe This is proof we are a family here and this man like so many others from RWD has paid his dues. Richard  has true grit. By no means should anyone consider taking  advantage of our kindness.

I know what you are trying to convey, Legal.  It's a nice gesture. 

I knew Richard back when he was first searching for a lady.  I'm sure he's not going to take advantage of your kindness and that's exactly why the group has come together to offer it.  But this is the internet...such gestures are very rare.

The good will is VERY nice to see ... sort of reminds me of a Wonderful Life. 
Happy to participate.  Richard, just waiting on some clarification from you.

(BTW - What's the deal?  Why is it that when you marry a RW, you do not have any VISA/ Residency/ Visitation privileges?  In practicality, don't these kind of things get "worked out"  with a little money?)

If you are asking me to pitch in, I must respectfully decline. 

However, I remain in admiration of those who choose to help.

I'm in so I guess we're just waiting on hearing back from Richard. I dont have pay pal but I can do moneygram or WU.  Hey Richard what about Ukraine for a while? You should be able to get in there and stay for a while until you can get something worked out. Hell I dont know. I'm just throwing out some options but I would figure a guy with that much experience might be able to pick something up with the travel about to pick up in a few months.

Tomothe, you misunderstood what I "was trying to convey".  I trust Richard very much and my wish is to help him in his time of need.  But I don't want other people thinking they can take advantage of us members here at RWD. I did not ask you personally "to pitch in" and you must not "respectfully  decline" . Please I feel my words were taken out of context.

I just spoke to Phil in Saint Petersburg and he hasn't herd back from Richard either.  Phil will telephone Richard and find out what is going on and get back to us.

Legal,

 Thanks much for taking the initiative in getting Richard aware of what is going on here. I haven't seen the e-mail from PayPal saying it was picked up so I figured he was not getting online since he pays by useage for internet.

Ken! Olga and I leave in three hours for Jacksonville.  I have a mediation at 10:00 in the morning then I am taking Olga to Saint Augustine and spending  Thursday night and Friday at a bed and breakfast. Olga's  present for International woman's day.  Guys Don't forget.  My point is I don't know when we will be back on the board probably Saturday well see  ;D   I need to decompress.  I will be in touch with Jet and Phil. Oh Ken by the way I was at the airport
waiting on the hot tarmac for take off clearance and I get another strange call about Jet also wanting clearance for take off I could not believe my eyes so I took another photo of our fearless leader Jet.
