Memorial Fund for AfterShockMedia Has Been Created
 

http://www.giveforward.org/asmfund/ to donate, a check will be sent directly to David's wife Julia after the fund closes on April 30.

She is having a party to celebrate his life on March 28th. Feel free to contact me for the address in Palo Cedro, CA (near Redding) if you want to attend or send flowers.

:thumbsup

To the top! Checking it out now.

Bump!

Back to the top. I will be donating some time next week. :thumbsup

:thumbsup

Thanks for setting this up, Jenni.

I've tried to donate, but from what it looks like they don't accept ePassporte creditcards (tried virtual & electron) - does Julia have access to an epassporte account we can donate to as an alternative?

Thanx,
Steve

Thanks for the info!

Thank you Steve, I'll see if Julia can find anything. I think she's a bit overwhelmed right now since David handled everything pertaining to payments online. I'll update you if she locates anything.

If you want to reach out to her directly (and this goes for anyone wanting to send her condolences) you can e-mail her at redwormgirl at g mail dot com.

why does he need donations? wasn't he a baller? (at least he came off like one in all his posts)

Don't be like that... he might have left a burden of medical bills.

ill be donating ;)

Donation sent here from Global Accés S.L. :thumbsup

I can only imagine how much just each visit to the hospital was, I had gone into the emergency room in December with heart palpitations (I have a prolapsed mitro valve) and it cost me $2k just for them to pretty much just observe me for 2 hours until my heartbeat regulated. ASM went in often for much more complicated procedures, and regardless if he had health insurance, (we know that doesn't mean a whole lot in this country) I'm sure she has a lot of bills to sort through.

I started this fund partially to help her with costs, but to also show her that we are here as a community to help her in her time of need.

Are you going to start a sig auction? If so throw mine into the mix.

he had no epass.

You can still donate with your epass virtual visa number...

Thanks for the info Jenni, bless you for this :thumbsup

He doesn't need anything now.

However, lots of people on here liked him, myself included. When people pass, we as humans often feel helpless and want to do something. Since there is nothing we can do, we send flowers, take food, make a donation, etc. It's our way of paying tribute and letting loved ones know that we share in their grieving.

If you don't want to contribute, then don't.

As to coming off like a baller, I guess that is a matter of interpretation, but I never took a single post of his like that.

:2 cents:

Hey you fucking troll fuck off, He never ever came off like that NOR did he ever say he was! Hospital bills and shit add up when you are in there for months at a time. Go troll somewhere else asshole!



Jenn thanks for all the help you have done for him and his wife! You are a great person ma'am! :thumbsup I talked to his wife the other day and man she is trying to be strong but you can tell she is in a daze at the moment :( Again thank you so much for being a wonderful person and helping his wife like you are!

Wish more people were thinking like that! :thumbsup

Bump for a great cause for a great guy!

never saw him try to suggest he was a baller, only that he had been at this a long time - i assumed since he was intelligent and a hard worker when his health permitted that he supported himself.

Wasn't he the recipient of ALOT of public assistance already?

Isn't his wife left with his online business?

Please correct me if I am wrong about these things.

Wow we have some true classless cocklickers on this board...




RIP ASM

Bookmarked.. Jenni, I expect facebook harassment if you don't see a donation from me soon. I get sidetracked very easily :2 cents:

:thumbsup

Julia is probably one of the most real, sincere, and humblest person I've ever known, and I loved seeing how happy they made each other. She's been through a lot with his illness and there is no reason why she has to face this alone.

She really loved David and never let his special needs get in the way of enjoying every moment she had with him. I am inspired by her strength and ability to go with the flow of things so easily. Life is one thing when the one you love and are married to is dealing with a major illness, but a whole new ballgame when that someone is also in a wheelchair.

I also know what it feels like to love of your life before turning 30 and suddenly feel so alone, even when you're surrounded by people. One of the worst feelings in the world.


Wow FB! Friggen AWESOME idea Trev!!!! Putting it on my to-do list tomorrow!!!!

I missed his passing and will miss our run in together.

RIP ASM. :(

:thumbsup

Be sure to invite me or at least link me.. Hardly any on my friend's list will know of him, but I'll invite anyways :1orglaugh

bump for donations

What about those of us that can't donate. Did he have an affiliate program we can push?

mikesinner instead of doing an affiliate code, just push sales to www.justsybians.com

bumped back to the top

Bumpppppppppppp

Rest in Peace.

What happened to him? Was this the guy who made a post a year or two ago about having an aneurysm in his apartment and only being alive because his wife/girlfriend came home to find him?

:thumbsup

From my conversations with him, I got the impression that he was not receiving much, if any, public assistance.

Here's the thing about public assistance... you make any money, you get none or very little, if any... regardless of your health conditions. David made money, I doubt he received much assistance.

:helpme

What if he was? What if she does have the business? Are people not allowed to rally together to help out?

Giving is not mandatory. It may be a stretch for you to believe this based on posts I've seen from you in the past, but some people have a heart and like to help their fellow man/woman during difficult times.

Don't worry, nobody expects you to give up your money that was earned by pushing bogus products like acai berry and penis pills.

From reading and talking to him, I was also under the impression that he was on his own.

I was also under the impression that he was either paying a lot or all of his medical expenses out of pocket. I'd imagine that if he was drawing public benefits, one of the first thing's he would have opted for was some type of government backed medical coverage.

I LOL'd.....:2 cents:

Not everyone can afford to give away free traffic. I thought he owned that program or something.

Bump for this. Nice work in setting up the fund, Jenni. :) Judging by some of the comments, there is no shortage of classless fucks and haters around here and it's a 'breath of fresh air' that someone would consider doing something NICE for the family after someone passes. I wish that there were more like you around ... it gives me confidence that maybe I won't be forgotten if I drop dead tomorrow of a heart attack or otherwise.

RIP ASM.

ill donate sometime this week

Bump for ASM.... http://www.giveforward.org/asmfund/

great fun, bump to the top!

In the last couple of months I read the same almost inside every thread I opened :Oh crap

Thanks for taking care of this Jenni, you are an awesome friend :thumbsup let's make sure and have a little toast to his memory at the Forum next month. he was such an amazing human being

When my own husband died, David was one of those that extended his hand in kindness. Donation sent.

So, very true.


In those times, sometimes it is just nice to be reminded that people do care. The world feels pretty cold where she is right now.

Wow gal, that's heavy. I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Thanks for helping:thumbsup





For the record, David was successful at what he did, but he was also ill for a long time and had to undergo expensive surgeries and even constant medical treatments, just to stay alive. He helped many folks in this Industry, worked long hours, and never bitched about his condition. Honestly, I don't know if I could have been as gracious as he was, I would probably complain all the time if I was confined to a wheelchair and dealing with the pain of cancer.

I chose a random number for the donation site, I don't think that amount is even a drop in the bucket compared to what Julia is faced with expenses wise. Thank you to everyone who has donated, and Persian Kitty for suggesting the site. A check will be issued directly to Julia after the drive ends on April 30 and she doesn't know anything about it (she's had limited access to the internet right now and isn't one to be online normally).
