I am absolutely not going to go into details over this in public. The need is financial. And I am hoping that any of you who would not miss $5 would get in touch with me, when I will furnish you privately with details of his paypal account.

What you do then is entirely up to you. You may say "Not interested after all" or you may choose to lend or give him $5. I do not want to know what you do, and i am not going to tell him who has contacted me. So use its_onlyme at iomfats dotttt org and put "help a friend" in the subject line.

Any arrangements of gift vs loan will be between you and him

I do know that he will be embarrassed, but I also know that his circumstances are such that he will not turn help away

I've never done this before, and I very much doubt I will do it again

Please do NOT ask for more details in public, nor sign up to this in public. If you want to criticise me, please do that in private too.

I am wary that this might be seen as "timmy wanting you to do something". All I want you to do is to decide privately and act as privately as you can. I wish it could be totally anonymous and that I would not know at all.
