Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. As some of you already know, my dad has been dealing with serious health issues. The situation has now become critical, and he requires a new surgery to get a marcapasos (pacemaker). This surgery is urgent and cannot be postponed, and we're doing everything we can to ensure it happens as soon as possible.

To help gather the funds needed for the surgery, a dear friend has kindly donated several items for us to sell. These items are all in brand NEW condition and cover a wide range of categories. List of items are posted below, I will post pictures of the items later. We aim to keep the prices equivalent to what they are listed for on Amazon. However, in a bid to make these items more affordable for you, we are willing to offer a discount of at least 10% on some items. Please note that unlike Amazon, shipping costs are not included in these prices.

Larger items are expected to cost between $35 to $50 for DHL shipping, though I will need to confirm this on a case-by-case basis. I can assure you that I will do my best to keep shipping costs as low as possible.

The preferred form of payment is through PayPal at georgewell130178@gmail.com. However, if it's more convenient for you, I can also accept ACH or WIRE transfers to a US account (details can be provided through private message).

I understand that times are tough, and any kind of support will be greatly appreciated. Whether it's purchasing an item, sharing this post with others who may be interested, or simply keeping us in your thoughts and prayers, your support will go a long way.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and understanding. Our family appreciates all the love and support we've received from this wonderful community.

Best regards,

Jorge

Hey guys, we've decided to absorb the shipping charges through the item's price to make it more attractive, as we hope to gather the necessary funds soon. Thanks, everyone!

Damn. Best wishes to you and yours, Jorge.   

I'm so tempted on that TRX4, but I already have a fleet of scalers and that price is a bit steep for my blood at the moment given all the wedding arranging that's going on.

Jorge, rather than sell off some things for pennies on the dollar, why don't you start a gofundme or something similar?  I'm sure a number of people from here would be willing to contribute.

bosk1, I'm not super clued up on how GoFundMe works, but from what I get, they need a Social Security Number (SSN) to pull out cash, something I don't have. Also, I heard they don't send money to WISE accounts, which is my US account. Plus, they take a 5% cut and it takes about a week for the money to get to me.

If you're looking to help, here's my PayPal: georgewell130178@gmail.com

Any good vibes, prayers, or help you can send my way, I'd really appreciate it.

My dad got out of the operation room by 8.15 am, doctors said he is fine, but we haven't been allowed to go in and see him yet. My dad's wife is waiting for authorization to go in and see him.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

I am still selling all of the above to recoup the money spent of the surgery.

If anyone is interested in anything just let me know and we can work a deal.

Guys, my dad is doing fine, he was released from the hospital last Monday. I just came from his house and he is feeling well, as a baseball fanatic he said: well, it seems I still have some at bat chances LOL.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

NOTE:
I've been giving a $250 gift card for the Grant Cardone store.
I am willing to part with it for $200
If interested let me know.
