A recent diary asks us for help. The diarist was simply asking for advice but we Kossacks got engaged and wanted to DONATE. The diarist, unfortunately, doesn't know how to set up a PayPal account and I don't know either, by the way.
Here's my thought. Let us Kossacks join forces... set up a general PayPal account for those among us in need.
We could divide this nation, as well as others where we are represented, and create a data base of who is there, locally, to help with whatever situation arises, and provide that help. Be it monetary or logistical there are so many of us world wide we could do this.
I am told by others that to send money to help someone you must have that person's email addie. Then you can send money through PayPal (sign on to create an account if you don't already have one) to the person's email addie. If the money is from your bank account there is no fee charged but if you use a credit card there is an approximate fee of three percent. Once the money arrives PayPal notifies that email addie that the money is available and the person can either transfer to their bank account, taking three to five days, get a check taking up to seven days or if they have a PayPal debit card the funds would be quickly available. I'm told there may be a fee if the money arrives internationally.
OK. I'm willing to help spearhead this if Kossacks want to do it. Obviously the site owner and moderators would have to agree.
What do you think? And in the meanwhile, can we help bevomav?
Happy Thanksgiving.

PayPal - How It Works > (2+ / 0-)
How It Works
1.All you need to send money is the recipient's email address or mobile number.
2.The recipient gets an email or text notification. To withdraw the money, they log in to PayPal or sign up in minutes.
3.Recipients in the US can withdraw the money by:
Spending it online
Transferring it to a bank
Requesting a check
Using a PayPal Debit Card
Let's do it Kossacks!
