I just called and mentioned this thread and Jasper's name and they took my credit card and donation over the phone.

If no one has taken a dips onto a skimmer, I would like to donate a biocube 14 skimmer + airpump. I guess it can help with the maintenance to some extend? Or perhaps powerhead? Or maybe test ki? I am not sure which one would be more useful. Lemme know and I will talk with JL.

Another member has already donated a Biocube skimmer but I will check to see what is still needed. Thanks for the offer.

Ok, so I talked to the mom and they are all very excited. They will discuss this offer as a family and make a firm decision by Sunday. However she says that as far as she is concerned she is a big YES! to the bucket list project. I will post here once I know for sure. They are also moving at the end of the month so may postpone the potluck bbq/get-together and trip to Powell River a week or more to allow them to move and settle in before dealing with a new reef tank.

Again thanks everyone for their amazing support of this bucket list project for a total stranger.

Sincerely,

Anthony

Sure Please do let me know what can be useful for the tank.

Hey guys lets make this super cool and see if we can collect some $ for things other then SW fish tank (whatever else is on the list) Anthony can (i think?) get the $ via E-mail Money Transfer.

This is way better then donating to some agency and we will all know exactly how much and where the money go. we have hundreeds of memebers on here so even a small donation from many memebers will make a big difference!

I have actually received donations from BCA members via PayPal and e-mail transfer for the bucket list. Any moneys collected above and beyond what is spent on the project will be going to the family for fulfilling Jasper's other bucket list wishes.

When everything is collected, I plan to write a spreadsheet with the name and email address (if desired) of anybody who donated something to the project, where they are from and what they donated. Jasper's mother was completely blown away this afternoon when I told her that we were already receiving support and donations from reefers across Canada, not just Greater Vancouver. The spreadsheet will show them how much support there is from the Canadian reefing community for their son Jasper, even though he is a stranger to all of us. I know they are already very touched by the love and support from all of you. God bless.

BTW, Marie in Powell River has very graciously agreed to bring over a bucket of new salt water once a month for a monthly water change so the family can have a fairly maintenance-free, stress-free system that Jasper can enjoy and not have to worry about. Just wanted to publicly thank Marie for agreeing to this request. I will post updates as I learn more.

Spitfire/ Tyler was over yesterday to look at some zoes and paly's and he said he will get a hold of you this week regarding us meeting up next Friday at Oceanic Corals.
I also am proud to be a member of such a generous community as Canreef.
Way to go to all that have donated to make a dream come true.
And huge Kudo's to Anthony !!

How do you know for sure it's going to be applied at this project?
