And am grateful for the bumps and kind words this thread got. But, I am disappointed that Mr Bee did not respond to my question, as though it were not valid or important enough to justify a response. I do agree with your sentiments about not sticking every fundraising thread, for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917380 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 12:00:19 +0000 IRunForFun 1917380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Well said!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917233 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:36:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1917233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: @mrs. bird: I completely agree. </p> <p>I am also heartbroken and wish I could donate, but we just can't right now. I wish I could help everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917187 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:22:05 +0000 coopsmama 1917187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: @.twist.: You guys said what I've been thinking so very well. Exactly! If this thread were stickied it would set a precedent that would be hard to keep up with. I think it's best to only sticky crowd funding posts for longstanding HB members in tough situations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917174 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:15:23 +0000 .twist. 1917174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I was honestly going to make a thread myself if one hadn't been made. We see a lot of news coverage for American news (obviously, it's an American site) but not as much Canadian. I was really touched to hear that a lot of American bees were even interested in donating, because it seriously is such a tragedy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917168 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:13:17 +0000 mrs. bird 1917168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: absolutely! there were lots of people looking for this info and it's wonderful that those looking to donate had access to that info (and that it's the real fund!), it's a great thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917165 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:11:33 +0000 Synchronicity 1917165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I completely agree with you (and I am an Ontario bee). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917151 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:03:58 +0000 .twist. 1917151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: They would seriously have to sticky every, single, fund people wanted them to. I feel like it's very obvious that every fund situation we have had on the hive has been for a community member going through a tragedy. Not to say this isn't a tragedy, but this community isn't the only help these people will get, their story is all over the news and that isn't true for our community members and their tragedies. I feel like the thread in and of itself is appropriate enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917146 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 10:00:14 +0000 mrs. bird 1917146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: thanks for posting! </p> <p>the fund is obviously legit, but there are so frequently scams that use tragic events or fake illnesses for a profit, it would be really hard for a site like HB to be able to verify the legitimacy of every crowdfunding request and i'm sure they would feel awful if they were to encourage HB members to give to a fund that ended up not being on the up and up. it's one thing when the recipient is a long time member of the community and the organizer is as well, but i can see how it could get out of hand and overwhelming if more and more requests for crowdfunding were coming in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1917123 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 09:45:02 +0000 Applesandbananas 1917123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sticky bump. </p> <p>I hope Mr. Bee provides additional information on sticky-able posts vs. non sticky-able posts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916777 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 05:39:42 +0000 travelgirl1 1916777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I'm not sure how it works, honestly, and thanks for your input, @mrswin: </p> <p>I mainly posted this because on the thread about Ottawa last week several Bees asked if there was a fund set up for his son because they would like to contribute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916697 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 22:01:55 +0000 mrswin 1916697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: From what I understand he will be provided with a full military funeral but as far as a payout as far as I know there is no such thing over and above whatever life insurance coverage was provided as part of his work benefits. I will ask my BIL to confirm.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916653 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 21:06:38 +0000 blackbird 1916653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: Not sure how Canada works, but doesn't his family receive a large sum for his service? At least in America, losing your life in the line of service is a 2M payment for officers' families, to help with all the expenses and such.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916646 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 20:57:12 +0000 luckypenny 1916646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916535 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 18:53:04 +0000 californiadreams 1916535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here is another sticky bump :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916420 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 14:54:57 +0000 travelgirl1 1916420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, been out for the day.</p> <p>@Mama Bird: I am not entirely sure, I'm afraid. It's easy from within Canada. But the link I posted has the names of military organizations who are also fundraising.</p> <p>@Leialou: The TD one will be given directly to the family.

How does contributing actually work, you go to the bank and give them the fund number? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916214 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 09:52:30 +0000 Reese 1916214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I agree, especially since a policy isn't yet in place. </p> <p>This entire situation is so sad.

Because it's not a HB member who needs the money? I'm genuinely not trying to be snarky here, but it's a Sunday, traffic will be slow and the post could get lost very, very easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916168 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 08:25:38 +0000 sslm 1916168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: thanks for posting. I hope lots of people give!!! This is extremely close to my heart. </p> <p>I've seen many other threads asking for help for hellobee members who've been in horrible situations and I applauded the stickying of these threads. </p> <p>I'm sad to learn that this particular case is not allowed to be stickied. This situation has touched too close to home for me and maybe I'm taking things too personally but this is the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. I won't be returning to hellobee. If anyone wants to keep in touch just wall me and I'll send my email. </p> <p>Sorry to hijack the thread. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/trust-fund-for-canadian-soldier-nathan-cirillos-son#post-1916136 Sun, 26 Oct 2014 07:14:43 +0000 travelgirl1 1916136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boheme: :happy: </p>
