No, Julie. I'm afraid not. I'm not a non-profit or registered charity.

I simply set up the dropcash at Eric's request.

If you, or anyone else, can set up a dropcash for tax deductible donations towards Eric's air fare - and can do this soon - just let me know. I can then return donations to anyone who wishes, so that they can re-donate tax-deductibly.

We have very little time. The only useful function of a committee that I can see, so far as Eric is concerned, would be a pooling of ideas about how we can raise the profile of this appeal and get lots more donations.

Why can't we do this here on this thread? We could also use a workspace here if we wanted to keep track of any concerted efforts we decided to make.

What do you think, Julie? Can you get a tax-deductible dropcash set up? We have about six weeks at the most to raise the money.
