Is there a PayPal account people can send money to?

I thought I'd ask. Start the ball rolling.

While I'm sure you mean well, and it's not like HN is full of trolls who want to trick you, you shouldn't just be asking for PayPal accounts that you'll willy-nilly send money to. You have no idea if this story is true or if this is just a scam. Let's at least do some due-diligence, then we can get a serious campaign going.

I'm sorry to be so skeptical, but I've seen some truly conscienceless scammers--both on and off the internet--to not trust anything anymore until it checks out from multiple angles.

It's hard for me to accept handmeouts, but if anyone decides to be insisting, I'll vow to pay it forward (I always do) and even start a blog about the course of the treatments (with pictures of paid bills, etc.) I'm a big believer in full-disclosure.

I made the account under ilovemymomjeanine@gmail.com and I'll follow up with you with pictures of the paid invoices. I know there are trolls that do this, but for all that I have, I'm not one.

I was thinking the same thing, but ended up using square cash instead.
