Ronin Tyler - Reef Central Online Community

In a time of loss like this there are financial issues that arise and I want to help Rick (FiReBReTHa) out as much as we can. I hope this is ok with Rick as I am only doing this because I know you all care and would like to help.

If you are willing to give please paypal to [email protected] your gift and please make sure you check off in paypal that this is a gift so there is no paypal fees.

Are you with me R2R?

First of all my condolences to Rick and his family for this terrible loss.

and
thank you Rev for the idea to help them in this terrible time.
I just contributed and I hope many others will also. If we can spent so many $$$ on corals, fish etc... we can put a little on the side and help this family.
No matter how big or small the donations are...it will add up!

Michael

I threw in some earlier tonight and while a decent small amount It does not compare to the tears I have shed for this family, the picture in the link really choked me up, I offer as well prayers, and anything else the family needs, as I am close in distance, If needed just send a shout, for whatever . I know I am not family but i have 3 children and cant imagine.
Bro call on us if you need it I personally would do a 100 mile drive to do a water change for you. I know its nothing compared to the overall picture but Its all I can offer.
God Bless

I had to close out of this thread at first because it amazed me so much it broke me down. even as I type I cant look at the screen. It really does help because we were not able to get him life insurance in time and would have never imagined this happening. I really dont know what to say to all of you I am so taken back in appreciation.

I want him to be thought of in positive so I want to share a video of him.
this was his life 98% of the time, the other 2% he was sleeping.

I came on tonight to look at some threads and try to occupy my time and shift my focus and am in so much gratitude for finding this.

Thank you all, so very very much.

I helped out but would like to do more so I am going to sell an eye of Tyree BGM and donate the cash from the sale to this. I have a 1 and a 2 year old and cant imagine what these people are dealing with. $150 shipped. I will cover the shipping cost and donate the $150
