Seeking help: Community member John Cowan having some trouble

[Robin Lee Powell]

John Cowan, the original author of the CLL and long-time Lojbanist,
has had serious medical problems and has lost his wife, leading to
Bob having to spend a ton of money to move him out of his apartment.
I asked him to make a GoFundMe so the community could help, and here
it is:

Are you in touch with John, Robin? I'd like to send him my love, but had lost touch.

Yeah, Bob also asked for people who know him to give him phone
calls; I'll send the number privately to And and anyone else who
wants it.

I hope you are able to achieve the GoFundMe goal and more. Unfortunately, I cannot contribute right now, but I wish John the very best. His book is a great achievement which provided me much enjoyment.

Hi, I'd like to donate (in private) but don't have a payment method that
GoFundMe accepts. Is there a bank account, preferably in SEPA, that I
could send the donation to?

I don't know how to find someone with a SEPA account, maybe someone
else on the list ca]n help?

You are certainly welcome to send it to me if you want; I have a US
bank account I could give you the wire transfer info for.

I struggled quite a lot with sending money from Europe to the US as US banks do not adhere to the SEPA circuit and using US banks' coordinates to send money was impossible to do for me. (My daughter lived one year in US some time ago and I used to send her some pocket money every month).

I believe the easiest way would still be to sign up for one of those pre-paid credit cards like Revolut (they are free). They have an IBAN number so you can put money on them from your bank account via SEPA money transfer for the exact amount you. want to donate and use that one on GoFundme

With some of them, you can even create a one-time usage credit card if you are not comfortable giving your credit card number on the internet. It will expire as soon as you use it once, so even if someone steals it in the process it is pointless.

 Which type of cards are available to you depends on the country you are in, I guess.

Just a suggestion.

Embarrassing. I didn't expect the non-list reply button would still send
to the whole list.

You can send the account details to wow...@gmail.com.
