    Tala still hasn't gotten all of her money?

    I just found out that Tala still hasn't received all of her money that was donated before Christmas. Instead of sending Tala her money, which she desperately needs to pay bills, Brad has been partying in Vegas and hosting some party in Vancouver? I'm all for having a good time, but Brad, you've got some serious responsibilities hanging over your head here that you need to get taken care of.

    Also, there were several people who made a pledge to send her checks because they did not use PayPal and so far she has only received two. She was apparently promised decent sized checks from several sponsors and NONE of them have arrived yet.

    Tala has bills to pay and she still owes some money to the hospital (of which almost $900 won't even be paid once all the money DOES come in) so those of you who pledged to help her, please remember and honor your promise.

    Oh, and someone marked a laptop off Tala's wish list and she never got it. If it was you and you actually did order it, please let her know because she needs to track it down. If this was someone's idea of a cruel and fucked up joke, then

    Tala has been incredibly patient and understanding about this whole thing and it's making her miserable. She is incredibly grateful for everything that has been done for her so far. She didn't want to make a fuss about it, so I'm posting this for her. She NEEDS the money that righfully belongs to her.

    Thanks to all who donated to her and let's help Tala get what she's owed.

              It is not uncommon in the non-profit world for people to "pledge" money to a good cause and then not deliver.

              When Jerry Lewis releases his telethon donation numbers, much of that is "pledges" which never come through.

              You don't hear Jerry complaining. Be happy with what you do get!

                Not to come across the wrong way... but she also got over three times more money than she needed to cover the surgery and from what I know she is back to work.

                She said she was going to be unable to be on a computer for about a month because of the recovery time... and she was posting on GFY a few hours after she got back from the hospital.

                The whole point of Brad starting the thread was to cover the 1500 for her surgery.... not to cover her other bills...etc. As Tala had stated that because of the surgery costs she would be short for her other stuff.

                Tala started a thread about not getting her money and people were gettin on Brad about it... Brad responded saying he regrets doing it and wouldn't do it again. Brad had Vegas booked... was sick when he got back and did the best he could to get all the money out.

                There was a problem with Tala's bank taking the cheques..etc... so Brad had to do it another way... Which he did.

                Im getting sick of hearing about how Tala hasn't gotten all of her money... if it wasn't for Brad starting a thread about her, she would have had nothing

                  Get your facts straight as you're accusations are indirectly making lots of people look in a negative light. Brad did not treat me or anyone else I know that was at the Vancouver dinner, nor did he use any funds or pay for anything for the party at my place. I am sure nobody present wants to be fingered by you as whooping it at someone else's expense.

                      Oh boy.

                      *Just waits for the nasty emails and Q messages...*

                      I really didn't want this brought here, but I guess it is time to do some complaining, even though I don't want to be seen as an ungrateful bitch.

                      Like Tootie said, I'm soooooooooooooooo grateful for all that everyone has done. You have no idea how thrilled and happy I was, and how much respect I hold for those involved. I appreciate everything you've all done.

                      But, again as she said, I'm still going to be $900 behind after all the money is here. I'm just waiting for it all to get here, and I'm not sure when that would be, since I've been told several times that I'd be getting it that day or he'd try to get it to me that day. I understand being sick sucks, or maybe you just get too busy or something, but...

                      I'm going to leave this thread now, I'm sorry it came to this.

                        I love Tala, but unless the money has been sent and someone else is holding it (which sounds like it MIGHT be the situation with Brad and we don't have all the facts on it....), then nothing "rightfully belongs to her".

                        Ask anyone who's run a charity auction of any kind, or a telethon where pledges are made, or where you walk/run/etc. for $X - you NEVER count on it all coming in. Sad, but still the truth.

                          Exactly... Brad never paid for anything for anyone. The only money I saw him spend ever was for his own dinner and 1 pop.

                          Then we went to Hershie's place where, obviously, Hershie took care of us with snacks and drinks.

                          Brad never "hosted some party" as it was put. He was just in town and thought it would be cool to meet some webmasters while here. And we did that.
