Bitcoin Forum

Hello,

My name is Naldo. My girlfriend and I found a dog abandoned a week ago. He was seriously injured. We took him for a veterinary hospital to treat his wounds. The doctor who attended him said he would have to have surgery on the eye. The surgery was a success. He now has only one eye, so we call him "little pirate". We want to take it, but we can not pay the costs of the doctor. He needs to take some vaccines also. We paid about $ 250 for the hospital and we have no more money. We need to pay $200 to the hospital and we need $100 to pay for the vaccines.

We need then to $300 for everything. I can post the pictures of him and I can post a picture of him holding a sign written BITCOINTALK.

If you can help with any amount would be nice. I know we have many thieves mainly in forums like this. I'll post my linked-in and my facebook page. Besides, I can post the receipt of payment of medical bills.

I myself love dogs so I give  you some help.  This forum is not the best to ask for money.

I would suggest going over to reddit and see if  you can get a mod to verify story. (Not sure how they will but I'm sure they will find something).

Hope that helps some and hope little pirate has many more holidays to come.

Thank you.

You're right, there are many scammers on bitcointalk.

I post this on reddit. Thank you :D

It was very kind of you to help the dog, but begging is not appreciated here.

Sorry to hear about Little Pirate, but if you really are sincere and genuine and not out to scam, there are other outlets for this sort of thing:

http://www.gofundme.com/

https://www.indiegogo.com/


Good luck Little Pirate!

thanks.

I'll try the links :)

This is a very kind act you have done - bless you for helping Little Pirate.

I want to help with a token donation if this situation can be verified.

I've checked he gofundme and they do not accept BRL currency. I'm from Brazil and I do not have an account in the US. I've create a campaign on indiegogo. Thanks for the tip :D

Here's the fundraiser: https://life.indiegogo.com/fundraisers/help-the-dog-little-pirate/x/9477174

Yeah, I don't know to to verify this. I can post the bills or anything else.

Thank you anyway. :D

If you are able to verify that this story is real, I will be VERY VERY happy to help you with a good donation. This forum is full of scammer, we don't need others. So, please verify it and then let us know ;)

How can I verify this? I don't know. :/

I live in Brazil.

Here's the hospital receipt. It's in portguese:

I closed my FB account but use twitter - can help get the word out with twitter.

Me too!

Make a nice tweet and I'll make it heard.

Here it is: https://twitter.com/naldoRP/status/547530414630256640

So sad to see it

I'm gonna help you to spread the word ;)
And hope your dog get heal soon

What a good guy. To those users that're saying that he needs verification, I agree, but how do you all propose that he does verify it?

I'm no expert on this, by far, but fail safe way to verify authenticity of user and his BTC address is by signing a PGP key:

I've never done it personally, but maybe some of the experts could actually walk you through better.

Good info from some friends from Brasil.

If you have no money you have no business adopting a dog.  They cost money.  Shame on you.   >:(

I wanted to believe but I had trouble the more I thought about it.   Sadly this time of year is full of scammers.   

What are the chances that someone rescues a dog and then finds out about bitcoin within a few days... slim.  And for the person to only need money no instructions on how to use btc or cash it in.

OP, would you mind taking a new picture of you and little pirate, together with a sign of today's date and your bitcointalk username?

Hey Scrooge....Merry Christmas to you, too! :P

Hi guys,

yeah, I know that we had scammers in this place. I lost about 0.1 BTC on BTCJam last month.

We got some donations and we pay the medical expenses. I can post a picture of me and him, no problem. I'll take a picture over the weekend and put it here, we still need some donations as food and toys.

I've known bitcoin Since 2013, I am not new in bitcointalk despite having few posts.
When I said I did not have more money, it was for this case, we can not spend money from our food or our expenses with the dogs we help.

I know how this forum is full of scammers, was not a good idea to put it here, but it was the first idea I had.

Finally, thank you to those who helped spread. I will close the campaign on IndieGoGo.

 ;D

PS. The little pirate is great, we went to visit him today. He is extremely docile. : D

Merry Christmas, Little Pirate!

You are a very lucky dog to have someone love and take care of you like naldorp!
It is not much, but I'm sending a small tip donation to your owner as I said I would.
