I just lost my little brother

[mprep]

So much sarcasm.

[surebet]

He already explained it. His step-dad decided to buy a brand of candy which is well-known for its peanut-flavoured varieties but he didn't think that was worth bringing his glasses along to read the label, and even after he got home, where his glasses were available, he still didn't read the label, and instead just assumed it was okay for his step-son to eat it. No doubt the real reason he's collecting donations is for the defence of the upcoming negligent homicide case.

[dank]

He is in a better place.

Surprisingly, I agree with Dank.

Are... you saying he's better off dead???

We all are, for we don't truly live till we die.

Many assholes in this thread.

wow dicks

Many assholes in this thread.

While I agree that the presentation of some seems a bit cold, someone asking or donations on the internet should expect to have their story criticized. I'm still curious why I can't seem to find an obituary that matches the story.

This right here.  Also, OP has a history on these forums (which has been accumulated very quickly) with content that adds to the criticism.

To donate to anything like this, I would at the very least expect to find an organization behind it, with some sort of documentation on what their goal and methods are.

OP directed us to a website that doesn't even exist.

EDIT: I'm having a hard time confirming an obituary. Can't seem to find a Mason Gallagher in Midland TX. It did take a few days to get my own mother's obituary into the papers if I recall though.

1. His last name is not Gallagher, way to make even a bigger ass of yourself.
2. Our family hasn't been in Texas for about a year, so again. Ass.
3. Comment like this again and you will be ignored.

[FinShaggy]

It's not the dedication, it's just the way you said it. You said it in a way you were promoting your town.

Fuck you, ignored.

FinShaggy, I know you are having a TERRIBLE time, but cut it with the language. If I see one more curse from you, I will ignore you, no ifs, ands, or buts.

Fuck you, ignored.

[RichG]

I got the last laugh.



I will laugh again when your ignore button turns amber, FinShaggy.

Ok, why not post a link to the obituary yourself, instead of making people hunt for it?

OP tried to do that previously when asked if an organization or even website existed for "MasonsMiracle" - didn't work out so well:

in less than 3 paragraphs "donations" are asked for.  There isn't any group associated with this donation.  There is no plan for how this donation would raise awareness.

So first I'm a troll because I post on Bitcointalk while I'm in the hospital, NOW I'm a troll because I am not posting everything to a fucking bitcoin site.

Try to do some research on other websites before you assume shit and make an ass of yourself. BTW, you are ignored, so you don't have to reply.

Hello,

My name is Ryan and my 11 year old brother mason went to the hospital this Friday due to peanut allergies. He had a heart attack & his brain started swelling until it cut off the oxygen to his brain. He was pronounced dead 2 days ago at 5:05pm I had no idea that peanuts could do something so horrible and my life will never be the same, so I am starting a foundation to promote awareness around the world, and possibly even work to eradicate peanut allergies. I never want anyone to have to go through what we did.

 

In the mean time, we are raising money and working to start a website and more. Nothing can bring my brother back, but we would like to start something that possibly turns into a label on ALL peanut products in ALL stores. Like a big red P sticker, or a picture of my brother.

 The Foundation is MasonsMiracle.org

I wonder why...

[Gabi]

So let me understand

Candies with peanut butter, on the package there is written that they contain peanut butter
Person allergic to peanut butter eat them

Darwin award?

Because I don't give a fuck if a bunch of trolls waste a little time before getting back to trolling me again.

Nobody is trolling you.  If you want people to donate money to your cause you had better well be able to provide them with some semblance of legitimacy for that cause, if they ask you for it.

I think that's the reason you're mother named you FinShaggy. Because you're a Honey Badger.

We eventually set up a 501(c)3 after my daughter and I were shot.  There was a long period of not very clear thinking after the shooting.  Chill out and give him some space.
