Ending The Donation Fund

[Ron Bartos]

I'm Ending The Donation Fund for my stolen Pedal Steel. I have been getting a lot of the steel players upset about me posting a Donation fund. I don't wont to upset anyone on the forum. I Have had to many comments that were asking some personal questions that frankly is no one's business. For the steel players that did send a Donation will get there money back from GoFundMe.com in around two months as per GoFundMe web site. I would like to end this post with one thing and that is, IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE DON'T SAY ANY THING AT ALL.

Ron.......the sad part is.......I think a LOT of members on this forum are so generous and thoughtful, that they would’ve responded if you had just posted a simple “Folks, I’m a fellow steel player who’s struggling financially. If you could help me out, it would be really appreciated.”

I know it’s hard to ask for help, but humility and genuine need are received much better than convoluted, suspicious tales.

Good luck to you in any troubles you may be having.
