I was asked to create an account for people who wanted to contribute something for Dominic. We will be setting up a Paypal account, and Dominic’s father will set up a page somewhere on [fathom.org](http://fathom.org) for online donations. In the meantime, donations may be made at any Bank of America to:  
Dominic G. Fernie Irrevocable Trust, BA acct #457027195813 (bank routing number 122101706)

I’m thinking maybe we can create a separate thread for this once the PayPal account is set up.

A PayPal account has now been set up and linked to a new irrevocable trust for Dominic. PayPal donations can be made at [https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=\_s-xclick&hosted\_button\_id=SWP3Z6VFE8GKQ](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=SWP3Z6VFE8GKQ).

This appeal has retroactive staff approval to post: as always, we suggest you use due diligence on your end as to whether you want to open your wallet or not.

I’ve moved the above posts from the RIP thread to this new thread.
