Explosion Victims' GoFundMe

[Doug Kaye]

First of all, thanks to all of you who donated to the GoFundMe account for the victims of the gas-grill explosion.

Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, I've been unable to distribute the funds to the victims. 

Therefore, I've returned the funds to GoFundMe who have started the process of refunding your donations. You should receive them in the next week or so.

    Did they give you a reason why ?  I’m just curious find it perplexing . You went through all the effort and did it independent of the board / whaler .

Let's just say it involved discussions with lawyers and insurance folks.

I just want you and all those who started and donated to this cause, that this is/was a very admirable sentiment that had been displayed.  

However, in this day and age, all things (right or wrong) can be used against parties involved in litigation. 

So thanks to all for caring and concern and the act of humanity. It is not lost on me how good our Whaler Ohana can be in exhibiting itself in crisis.
