I love the 19th Century British desert uniform and the wind-up wheelchair. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Is there a deadline or cutoff date for this? It’s not clear how much time he has to raise the money and whether we’re in “moderately urgent” or “desperately urgent” territory here. Looking at the FAQ for the website it says there are no site specific deadlines or penalties for missing the goal. ---

We’re embarking upon an expensive transition in our lives, but I made a small donation. Wish it were larger, but hope this helps. ---

I just spoke to **BMalion** , and he asked me to say how grateful he is for the donations so far. He said, “It’s astounding that all the Dopers would stand together like this. If it works out and I keep the house, there’s gonna be a helluva DopeFest here!” The GoFundMe account will be open for at least another two weeks, and further donations are, of course, welcomed. ---

$12,000.00 - $500 short of the halfway point! ---

If he cannot get the other half in the next two weeks, will the mortgage company give him more time since he can pay half now? ---

I hope he can keep the house. The balance is so small now compared to the homes market value. ---

Many thanks, folks! I saw **BMalion** last night and he’s in good spirits. He said the fund would remain open at least through May 31. He’s spoken to a lawyer and there may be some good news soon on the legal front for him, but nothing for sure yet. As ever, he’s grateful for all of our help. ---
