It's ok man. You SHOULD be emotional, especially since she is a close friend of yours, it's okay for people to react that when they are trying to protect people they know. We all understand, but don't judge us for not knowing the same people you know. So, don't be sorry and don't avoid this thread... think about something you can offer up to help Nikki. Maybe DJ a party thrown in her honor to raise funds for her... or do a webcast/podcast for her members as a benefit with a 1 time cover charge for downloading to help raise more funds... since there's a big webmaster event coming up, maybe have a side-event in her honor... I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas... so no one shoot me. You guys can shoot down my ideas, but don't shoot me.
Since some of you know her personally, bond together to find some way to benefit her financially and then some of us will rally around you. Talk to all the large companies she's worked for, other models she's worked with... and ask them for support and promise them that when she gets better she'll return their help by shooting for them or something, I don't know... I'm sure that she's the kind of person that will remember those who helped her in her time of need and return the favor tenfold.
Maybe set up a site for people to offer their words of encouragement, friendship etc... kind of like a digital greeting card, that you can show her as soon she's better. Sometimes people that have been through that kind of trauma need to no that their are others out there that care for them and pray for them.
because Adam left for the hospital I registered a few domains for him (only other way I know how to help):
.
HelpNikki.com
makes perfect sense. I did not reg: SaveNikki.com because it was too morbid for me personally.
NikkisBlog.com / NikkiBlog.com
so he/she can blog, when she's better, to offer updates, etc... they say 70% of bloggers are doing it for ego/revenue, while over 30% of bloggers are doing it purely for therapy. something to think about, for Adam and her friends, perhaps a group blog. I can offer some guidance to show them how to set one up when they are ready.
NikkiFundraiser.com
in case her friends/webmasters plan a party/dinner/event to raise money for her.
I hope I wasn't overstepping my bounds by registering these domains (please tell me so), I just knew that if I posted the idea someone else may register the domains before Adam has a chance to... I'll transfer them all to Adam as soon as he's ready.
