Hi there people, I really need some advice.

I am a member of a fan club and there's a chat included. Now it seems two young people there like each other very much and wish to meet. The problem is now one of them is from Australia, the other person from Spain. I know they won't take money from friends, not even if people would borrow them some money. So I am thinking about creating something where you can donate, maybe by paypal or credit card. Any suggestions?? Creative ideas??
The most complicated part is to make people donate. I mean it's not only about the money or how much people donate, it's also a way to show them appreciation. So any suggestions??

Thanks in advance!

Karin

Chances are very good that even if you were able to collect a large sum of money on their behalf, the minute it's picked up by the one who's supposedly going to travel, that person would take the money and their profile would disappear forever.

We know each other much better and people on this chat are also connected on facebook, msn, skype... some already met in real life. So it's not a trusting problem or anything.

That seems like a likely outcome.

The discussion about the money is not important, even if they won't fly we would donate to MFR. It's no trusting problem. I need ideas.
Why do people have no dreams, no imagination?
