I did too, just as soon as I saw the first video, the morning Dianne went in.
I'm sure Robert is grateful for the help.

Update, the first 2:45 are about Dianne.

I'm glad he's not alone anymore, but I'm sure this means everybody is being realistic.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Foggy. It's much appreciated.
How did you donate to Robert ? I don't do social media, Volvo exceptions noted.

I'm not very social myself, so I don't do TweedleDum or Faceplant or any of that either.

He has a Patreon account, but I had bought some parts from him in the past, and had an established PayPal link. I listed my donation as a 'gift'. More contact information is on his website, https://robertdiy.com/

First 4:30 Robert talks about Dianne, her current condition, and making arrangements to fulfill her wishes at the end.

Has any type of gofundme been established ? I will donate to his patreon acct but a gofundme would reach a larger audience.

We generally don’t do those here on MVS for reasons you can imagine

This is Matt’s forum so his rules guide us here

I use Paypal and Robert's email adress.

While I am not smart enough to do something like that, I do think Robert has been such a large figure in the Volvo community for so long, I wanted to get the message out to our little Tribe about his current journey - this being aside from the fact I have met him, and talked with him on the phone a number of times, not just car related, but some similar life stories.
In his last Y/T vid he mentions the challenges of getting Dianne home at the end. I would imagine there is both a financial aspect, and a bureaucratic flurry of paperwork involved.
With the recent change in IRS rules, I made it a point to use the word "Gift" in my Patreon memo line.
