If there’s anyone here who would like to help out my friend Dave Mcurdy I would be grateful. Dave’s the guy we know and heard about on the news who not only lost everything he had in a tragic housefire but lost a dear friend in the midst of all the turmoil. He’s a good friend and I just wanted to do this for him. If anyones interested in helping him out, please let me know via PM or email: [floridagrown@live.com](mailto:floridagrown@live.com) Thanks NYSpeed for your time. ---

No amount of money will bring his friend back, and I can only assume that the house was insured, and there is no mention of how to donate if that is what you are asking for, so I don’t know what “help” you are asking for. Excuse me for being cynical, but this just smells fishy. I would suggest that nobody give anything to the OP until a more formal charity is set up for the person involved in the tragedy. ---

What’s really fishy to me is that he didn’t spell his friend’s name right. I’m inclined to agree. It absolutely sucks what happened to him, but this wasn’t the right way to go about trying to help, if you’re honest.
