Red, maybe the family has a paypal acct and you can send directly to them.

Get touch with Benton or Russell. I’m sure they can ask the family.

Red, nobody sees your card info except for GoFundMe. I would think it would be as secure as PayPal. I could probably get their PayPal info though.

Sorry I’ll be in and out of pocket all weekend. I have another call Monday with the FB folks, from our talks yesterday I’ll be calling airlines then. That is a good suggestion, the more we get discounted/donated the more money goes to the family for medical expenses!

No buddy...myself and Benton started 2 separate GFM pages basically at the same time and without the others knowledge...mine was to send Drake to the FB, and Benton’s idea was to send him to Disney! These are both TR GFM pages!!!

UCF Fans have absolutely raised a lion share of the funding for the FB trip, and I friggen love it! Nothing like 2 passionate fan bases binding together for the good of a well deserving little trooper!

Update - I spoke with Drake's mom and we are aiming for Disney / GKTW on 1/12/19 for 6 nights. They leave for Fiesta on 12/29 and lots of surprises already setup for Drake. You guys are awesome!

Yes, the TR HAS BEEN AWESOME! As has the FB, UCF Fans, and from what I’m hearing GKTW!

Do y’all realize that the TR will be responsible for sending this young man to Glendale from 12/29-1/1/19, fly home and rest for a few days then off to DW for 6 days?! This is wow wow wow!!!

Keep up the good work, continue to share BOTH GFM pages, and let’s give this very deserving young man and his family not only a Dec and Jan to remember but the security of financial assistance!

This has been an incredible story to be part of from its inception.

Never, ever underestimate the power of TigerDroppings. The LSU family is is generous and kind beyond description.

May GOD bless Drake, his family, and all who have helped to make this possible. Big time onions right now.

I want this kid to experience disneyworld, Fiesta Bowl and whatever else his heart desires. Hell...send the kid on a 2 week Disney Cruise...I will donate for it. Kids should not have to go through this...yet they are often the most courageous!

So glad to hear GKTW is working out. It’ll make the DW trip really something special.

Great work everyone!

You read a ton of negative information in the main stream media. But there is a lot of good in this world but good doesn't generate clicks and money. Don't believe me? Read this thread.
