Terry Cain Medical Fund Drive
« on: 9 Nov 2006, 07:19 am »
In brief, Terry Cain of Cain & Cain loudspeakers (think Abby to jog your memory) has been diagnosed with a deathly illness and now, well past a year of having struggled and kept quiet, is in a position where to pursue further medical treatment and the costs of nursing care require outside assistance.

To help out, we're running a pledge drive on 6moons. A separate account has been set up that is being administered by Terry's cousin on his behalf. This account will be used for cash donations (personal checks, direct deposits, wire transfers). We're also assembling a list of audio products at fixed prices where a published portion of the sale (or all of it depending on the donor) will go to Terry's Medical Fund. This product can be new or used, B-stock, dealer dems - anything goes as long as its condition is fairly described. 6moons won't accept or disburse any monies whatsoever. All transactions will be between the sellers and buyers, with the sellers committing to forwarding the pledged portion of the sale to Terry's account directly. All we're doing is hosting the notification page and equipment list and updating it as often and quickly as possible.

A phone number and e-mail for the Medical Fund administrator are included so doctors reading that page (or fellow victims or relatives of theirs of the same medical condition) can get directly in touch to share knowledge or more.

I've built the page with the information and initial list last night and before I leave for the Poland show tonight, it'll go live. You can find it by clicking on the big banner that will stretch across the showcase page, news page and industry features page on 6moons.

The equipment list as it'll read tonight reflects initial contributions from industry personnel and private individuals who responded immediately to a group e-mail announcement. Once the page goes live, it is hoped that other individuals will join. Come Monday next week when I'm back from Poland, I'll add all new entries that have collected in my inbox in the meantime.

Thanks for visiting the page. It is already at this URL and will remain there once the banners go up to link to it openly - www.6moons.com/showcase/terrycain/terrycain.html . If you can't participate yourself, perhaps you'll see fit to spread the words to friends who might be able to.

No need to reply to this, it's a simple announcement.

Thanks.

Can a moderator make this a sticky at the top of this forum?

Thanks Srajan

I second the PayPal capability.  BTW, Affordable$$Audio has placed a link to the Terry Cain 6moons page.  Thanks for taking the lead on this Srajan!

Hello Srajan,
 You have already received my email for the donated product but I would like to know if I can use your banner on my site as well to link to your page.

 Very nice work!

All:

      I got this link from the Bottlehead forum:
http://www.fundable.org/groupactions/groupaction.2006-11-09.0086572177/view?searchterm=cain
      I've also listed a pair of Green Mountain Audio Europas on Srajan's page.

As has been pointed out to me (and read) that Terry Cain has passed away.

Is this fund being used for any after-death expenses for Terry Cain...or was it only active so long as he was living?

If no longer active, I'll remove the topic.  If still active, it will stay (and possibly be re-named)

Sorry for the morbidity; just trying to keep things straight in Audio Central  :wink:

The fund drive expires January 10. We asked the equipment donors whether they were agreeable to run it on behalf of Terry's widow, to pay for Terry's final medical and funeral bills and all were happy to do so. Come January 10th, the page and associated banners will vanish. Thanks for keeping the sticky up all this time.
