I wonder if you you guys could have access to accepting deposits by credit cards. It's much more convenient than telegraphic transfers and people can do it over the net especially those living overseas.

Just a thought.

It doesnt matter which method you use. My point was to make it as convenient to the donors as you can.

Take the method you mentioned you have to follow these steps:
1- Decide to donate
2- Make the effort to go to the bank and get a money order. Pay commission and/or foreign currency exchanges fees
3- Take the money order
4- Post it to lebanon and hope it ends with up with the right recipient
5- Beneficiary receives it
6- He goes to the bank and deposit it
7- Bank says it takes three weeks to clear
8- Three weeks later, money deposited in beneficiary bank account less most likely a set fee of bank charges

The paypal method is much more convenient IMO
1- Decide to donate
2-Log on paypal and process payment
3- Beneficiary receives fund within a couple of days

Telegraphic transfers have2 downsides:
1- Your own bank may not process payments to some bank in lebanon and if they do they may want a proportionally high fees. My bank for example if it deals with this specific bank in Lebanon will charge me $40 to do a telegraphic transfer
2- Again very few would make the effort to actually go to the bank to make a donation so making it easier could be more beneficial. It's all psychological.

Bottom line, make it convenient to people and let them ultimately choose the method they are most comfortable with.

I enjoyed reading this post, while feeling sad for the ilness of a human being and understanding the urge to help, I am impressed by the fact that some are actually donating money for someone that they do not know, also only based on a post published in a public Forum where no one should theoretically know the identity of the other.

This surely defeats Hobbes major premise in the Leviathan, as he claims that in the state of nature men do not trust other men. It seems and regardless to years of war and civil conflict in Lebanon the Lebanese trust someone they do not know and can also give them some money.

I believe many of us who can help will.
I wonder if we can be updated on that person’s health situation to encourage more donations and keep the thread active as a reminder.
I hope his situation is recoverable.
People feel good about themselves when they contribute to a good human cause especially when they see positive results.
Either way, the fact that we showed care will make the patient feel better.
We can start by thanking the forum administartion for their good will.
Thank you,
Good luck.
