How-To Geek

As you are all aware, our lovable member Mark is having a rough time of it at the moment and that is putting it mildly!

HTG Forum members have decided to start a fund to raise money to enable Mark to have a better lifestyle, pay for a few luxuries and have money aside for when he moves to his new larger home.
Having a larger living space will enable him to have his own Dialysis on site thus reducing the 40 mile torturous round trip to Derriford Hospital every few days.

Please find it in your hearts to give something towards Mark's support.

Donate here; http://www.gofundme.com/HelpMarkS

Monies will be electronically transferred to his bank on a regular basis and updates will be posted on a daily basis.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

Most gracious thanks to Scott and Amanda for their invaluable help in getting this fund up and running and also for the initial donation.

Please feel free to post your comments below.
