The list of donations also have this message from Craig "Irieguy" Hartman:
Quote:
Kevin has been my roommate for the past 3 WSOPs and I consider him and Sam a part of my family...
Jim, Patty, and Sam... while I am quite confident that the people Kevin has touched will come together to make this fundraiser a success, I would like to personally guarantee any shortfall that may exist when the time for his transfer has come. So no matter how we get there, the balance is officially $50,000.
He made that promise on June 25th, so they were guaranteed to reach their goal at that date. And for the people who are close to Kevin and his family there are certainly other channels to provide financial support than to donate through that site. If a friend of me needed financial support I would find it better to make a direct transfer or pick up some of his bills than go through a 3rd party.
