News from Dobrat (Andy)

[Gabi]

Hey guys,  Andy asked me to let the squadron know this:  His long-time partner Jane just passed away yesterday morning.  Andy will understandably be taking a break for a while.

Thanks,

Gwen

Oh, very sorry to hear that.  I hope he's doing as well as possible in the sad circumstances.

[Vonrd]

That's very sad. My thoughts are with him and his family.

I just learned about this news today from Andy. It’s a brutal situation as he was not married, and his dear Jane had not made any provisions for him in the event of her passing. He is essentially being forced from his home within the next 2 months or so, as the executors settle Janes estate. I have heard that some members of the Squadron have come together and raised some money to send him. This is truly heart warming. I am taking preparations to send him few hundred quid myself. It isn’t much, but at this point any bit would help. If anyone has the means to help out. Andy could really use our help right now. Such sad news. Our thoughts are with you Andy!

A truly sad lesson for us all. How can we send him some help in the way of money?

Yeah, tell me about it. Really motivates me to get my ducks in a row with regard to estate planning. I went into my bank this morning to wire some money and found out that if I sent an international money transfer through my banking app on my phone/ipad instead of going into my bank. I would save myself 45 bucks. My plan is to just do that. All I need are these pieces of information.

• The recipient's name, address, and account information 
• The destination bank address, SWIFT/BIC or ABA Routing Number 
• The destination bank identifier IFSC, BSB

I’m just waiting to hear back from Andy on that information and then I’m gonna wire some funds over . If anyone else wants to send some support. I will be happy to pass along the financial information I needed to wire him. Just shoot me a message on discord or something. Cheers

Wouldn’t it be better to use Venmo or set up a gofundme?

I’m sure he’d appreciate any kind of help at this point. I had no clue what to do after he said he didn’t have Paypal lol. It been a day of learning how to wire money internationally. I’m not sure if those sorts of institutions take a % of the money or not. I would just want to make sure that every cent I sent, went directly to him. My banking app makes sending international money transfers pretty easy, free, and fast if I have his information. So im just waiting on that in the mean time. I would be totally fine using a go fund me sort of thing if someone wanted to set one up.
