Well, you see, what had happened was I came seeking help for a reason, and I was more than willing to pay it forward. But what did I get? I got made fun of. I got talked about like I was a drug addict, and much more. I just gave up on trying to find help here.
But now, I've come upon a very good opportunity that I cannot pass up. I am currently taking donations for giveaways and raffles. All proceeds will go toward helping folks like me who are going through financial struggles and can't afford an expensive fishing trip or decent fishing gear. That's just a small part of my plan, not including the online store I created to provide what's needed for the giveaways and raffles.
I make no profit at all from this. The only thing I gain will be fishing gear, so I am truly paying it forward by helping those who are in the same position I was in. My time is extremely valuable, and it's a damn shame that a bunch of folks on a "pay it forward" thread wasted my time by lying to me and making jokes about my situation. I would not do that to anyone asking for help on a simple issue.
With all of that being said, the only way you guys will ever get me to respond to any of these ridiculous comments again is by donating to the cause. Everyone who donates will receive a gift as a token of appreciation. The first few donations will be used to purchase some new Abu Garcia spinning combos to raffle off and give to a couple of deserving people. Once that's under wraps, my store will officially open.
