Donation thread for Tabitha from Loaded Cash
 

I have taken it upon myself to collect any donations people would like to give to either help Tabitha when she gets better or to thank the waitress at Hooters who saved her life.
This is by no means pressure to anyone, its totally voluntary.

If you have PayPal and would like to make a donation to me for Tabitha or for a gift for the waitress, please feel free to make your donation to [email protected], which is me.

Also if anyone has any suggestions on what to get for the waitress, please feel free to make the suggestion.

Once I have ordered something for the waitress, I will post a picture of the gift she received, along with a proof of purchase, just so no one thinks I would take the money and run.

If you make a donation, please make sure you tell me whether it will be for Tabitha or towards a gift for the Hooters server.

Tabitha is very close friend of mine and my husband's, and she is considered an aunt to my little baby daughter. I have been in tears since hearing about the accident, and my thoughts are with Tabitha, until the day I get to see her again, and see her beautiful smile.

I sent some paypal. Tabitha has been to my place once or twice with Dwreck so I know her abit, hope she has a fast recovery.

I cant do it now but will have a Donation in from my company monday before noon.

That is fine :)

I am going to give this at least until Wednesday before I order anything.

I received it, thank you. I love Dwreck, he is a great guy, has anyone talked to him? I know him and Tabi are close as well.

I will be able to donate Monday as well.

I chatted with Dwreck this morning at our hotel about Ms. Tabby and he is aware of all that is going on for sure. He flew back home before lunch today so you should be able to catch him soon there locally.

Thanks again for setting this up. :)

No problem at all, I want to do whatever I can for Tabi.

Bump for a good cause :)

I donated some money to help Tabitha.

Chatted with him tonight, he's hangin in there.

Good, I don't have his number, ill try to catch him on FB or ICQ in the next couple days.

As I am not very well known on here, I do want to reassure everyone that this money will go to Tabitha, whether it be in the form of thanking the waitress, or the money going directly to Tabitha, that it will be done.
I am going to contact AJ about this so I make sure all the money that is being donated is best used for Tabitha. I am also keeping all the emails I receive from PayPal notifying me of a donation for her.

Nice touch. :)

Weren't there 2 people that kept her going until the Emergency people arrived. I thought the video mentioned the waitress and a guy? :2 cents:

I believe so, but I don't know if we could find him or not though.

HI Tara,

I actually met you, through Tabitha, at the Montreal show in 2008. I know you were very close. I'm happy to donate something to you for the waitress. Can you please contact me on ICQ?

I spoke to Dwreck through ICQ last night and I know he is in shock just like the rest of us.

Tara, I know you are very close to Tabitha and you are doing this for her, nor for profit. Please let me know if you need assistance with anything.

Dwreck is my affiliate manager. He and Alex are STILL stuck at the airport here in Phoenix and have been since yesterday. They keep getting their flights bumped. I'm headin to the airport myself here in Phoenix in a short bit but I know he is watching these threads.

I'll make sure to get in a donation ASAP once we get home.

Just bumping this up, and good luck Abbie on getting home!

I had thought you looked familiar, but I wasn't sure. I have added you on ICQ.

that's interesting...

Glad to see someone set something up. I will be donating first thing next week. Still keeping positive thoughts for Tabitha!

Just curious, how did a waitress from hooters save her life? Just would like to know the story. Thanks.

Wasn't a Hooter's waitress...

Thanks for the quick reply..

RangerMoore, the brain must have as constant of a flow of oxygen as possible. They stated that when they arrived Tabitha was not breathing nor did she have a heartbeat. The young woman and the gentleman(off duty EMT's) promptly began rescue efforts. These efforts regained a pulse, as well as oxygen to her brain. Lack of oxygen to the brain results in brain damage or death, depending on the period of time the brain is lacking oxygen. Depending on how long it took for rescue efforts to arrive she would have been starved of oxygen for that time. With the quick thinking and response of the young woman and gentleman they were able to keep oxygen to her brain.

Does that answer your question?

The woman who helped save her life is a waitress they said at a place on the 1st floor, I think the man who helped save her life was a customer, not sure if that is still Hooters or not on the 1st floor.

Most of the money donated so far has been to go to Tabitha, I have already contacted AJ about this donation fund for her..

Bump for Tabi!

Maybe the waitress will know the name of the man who helped.

Thank you...:thumbsup

Yes, I believe she worked in the restaurant below Hooters. I think it's called the Library.

No Problem :]

did she have med insurance?

I threw a few bucks in. Keep me posted.

She's Canadian, so yes. :)

Hey Tara have we met? I've met a few of Tab's friends in the past.

well the accident happened in usa, so unless she has travel insurance, or something along those lines, the bills are going to be pretty high.

versus here in canada, I had a friend who was in the hospital for over a month and its all covered.

Just hope she has the insurance.

I hope so also as Canada covers but not when you are out of the country . . .

Ah, did not know. I thought there was coverage for a certain amount of travel outside the country. I hope she was purchasing travel insurance then!

Just donated too, hope she'll be over all this soon. We'll keep sending her positive vibes. Tabi, stay strong!

Good thread,

I will shoot over some money as well.

Hoping for the best for Tabitha

Great idea! So keeping the thread alive! :pimp

Kinda sucks this isn't a sticky (yet)

why dont you pay for it so GFY admin stckys it?

Hmm Martin, we may have. I have been off the scene for a while due to me being pregnant and having my youngest child in May of last year.

Under what name did you donate? I have only received a couple emails from PayPal today, but maybe I didn't get some of them, I will log into my PayPal to see if I have gotten anything else.

I have only received 3 donations today, 2 of the donations I got a message on here, and another one I received an email from the person who donated, so if you have donated today, please send me an email, because I want to make sure I receive all the donations that people are sending in.

I've just e-mailed you the PayPal name I used from nadya(@)topbucks(.)com

sent a donation and send you an email, Tara.

Money sent from [email protected].

Keep strong Tabitha!
