Default Tragedy

Sadly I won't be here at game tavern for a while. A dear friend of mine's child died from the damned new strain of flu. So I'm going to console him and help him raise the money to bury her. I do however have one question anyone have any Ideas on how to raise money for something like this any help would be greatly appreciated.. I will be checking this while at work.. Thankyou all very much

Seth aka Ace

My sympathy for you and your friend, I'm really sorry. As for fundraising, you could write letters out to all your friend's relatives and friends explaining the situation and ask them for donations. Anyway, don't worry about anything here, we'll be waiting for you when you return so just tend to your friend.

Uh, we have life insurance here. Im just assuming this person didnt have any. For instance, if I die, my family gets $50,000

No questions asked.

Yes, but then if you want to keep that insurance, your premiums go through the roof.
