Would people be interested in running a fundraising event to help French families of victims coming up to the christmas festives?

Your taught are welcome,

Please share and we can all contribute to these families if we receive interest and we will organize a fundraising event,

So the fundraiser manager person can run off with all the money like lobali?

Like I would trust any of you shady mf's with money.

It's a bit of a touchy subject in here atm...

Apparently the American Red Cross accepts bitcoin via Bitpay, but you can't direct them to send the money to the Soutenir Croix-Rouge (who had 300 volunteers assist with first aid and medical support for the victims).

I can't find any relevant charities that accept bitcoin, but usatoday published this list if people are happy to donate direct and with mainstream payment methods:

I believe the Bitcoin subreddit have done successful charity fund raisers in the past. Maybe ask in that sub. Thank you for having a generous heart and trying to organise this.

Not here. Just find a good cause a donate.

Trust me when I tell you the French don't need you're money. Give a few bucks to Doctors Without Borders. They have one of the lowest administration costs of any well known charity. It's really well run and they do great work.

Absolutely no chance in fucking hell. I'll find a place myself so I know exactly where the money is going

Yeah I think I never want to hear a fund raiser and this sub in the same sentence ever again. I agree we all should give what we can, but a suggestion, do so through a valid charity. There are plenty and I'm sure more being set up via established organizations for the Paris victims.

But my recommendation, do not set up one on your own. Just don't.

No. The French are dicks.
