If you're feeling generous today

As I was leaving work earlier I heard a news bit on a local radio station that took my interest.  Seems this guy was the victim of a random attack and needs some surgery on his hand to keep making his living as a musician.

News story here http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s3937995.htm and funding page here http://www.gofundme.com/6nhi8w

I sent a message to the guy who's running the funding page because I'd like to send some money but can only do it in bitcoin/litecoin.  No idea if he's even heard of this sort of thing so wondering if anyone knows how to setup a trusted bitcoin address in case any of you are able to chip in a few dollars to help reach the target they've set.  I'd be happy to generate a new address in my wallet and then change to cash for him through my coinjar account but figured it isnt gonna be too successful as I'm not a trusted member of this board.  Any suggestions welcome, seems the guy has a day left before the surgery isnt as effective and they're quite a bit off the target.

Edit - I've just made a new address in the mean time if anyone wants to chip in for this guys recovery and no one has a trusted address solution (sounds funny because I say trust me though I know you have no reason to, am just doing this as a general good deed though) then please donate to MOD NOTE: ADDRESS REMOVED and I'll convert to dollars and ensure they get to the funding page

that's very generous but there are lots of people in the world who are suffering far worse who don't even have the prospects of having a career in life much less  having the love and support and fairly good life as a musician this person already has.. just the logical INTJ side of me making an observation here....

Something smells funny......

I know, at first I assumed as a musician he'd be fine but listening to the news story on the radio it didnt seem that this guy is a highly successful person that we often attribute with anyone doing things in public and at the end of the day is trying to make a living through his chosen medium. 

We cant help everyone and I'll often walk past various charities without giving but I do try to help the little guys when I can, this is just one of those times.  The guy is making an effort in life and through a random act of violence may have his opportunity taken away from him.  Personally I'm only in the position to give two litecoins worth but I feel like I can contribute to his surgery so thats the point.  If today is not one of the few days of the year where you help someone just because you see that they need it then thats fine, but it is that day for me so I'm just trying to help this guy along.  Help if you can.
