I actually haven't posted here in a while because I've been working non-stop at a startup.  But one of my overseas software developers in Nepal became homeless because of the earthquakes and suffered personal tragedies.  And he can't work for us right now because of his situation.
He's tried some crowdfunding sites, but they all require paypal, ssn and it's hard for him to even exchange paypal.

I've introduced him to bitcoin and there's a shipping company next to him that will exchange bitcoin for cash (found it on localbitcoin).

I told him to get some pictures with his family and a QR code:
​https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=6fd9df31ced427b4%21391


QR code translated is: 1HG2GQFJJNQf21H7WeD7BFp5CdJDn37AQk

Is there a good place to put this that people can recommend?

I know you could think this is some kind of scam, but I'm been a user here for a little bit, and if you'd like to get in touch with him, I can give you his skype or email.  That's one thing about fundraising like this, it's hard to prove.  Any suggestions about the best way to go about this?

Best wishes. Thanks for helping out a friend.  

At least this looks like the most genuine personal appeal for help that I've seen in a long time.

 I think this site is the perfect place to post relief pics (If your looking for BTC donations) You're already off to a good start.

Tell your friend to post a video with the sign. And post the picture from different angles and different sources.

Anyone can photoshop a Bitcoin QR code.

Thanks, that's a good point.  I'll have him do that.

I tried reddit, but I don't have a very good account and it seems like it was sort of shadow blocked on that.

Publishing to Imgur actually got some views:
