Should Volnation or AD White assist a UTM player?

Bama player hits Tennessee fan.

Tennessee responds by helping an advisory rebuild their family home.

While looking at UTM earlier this week, came across a player of theirs from Florida. Family was devastated and lost everything in the hurricane. Mom even lost employment. His GoFundMe only had a little over 3,000 donated. Considering he plays for a sister school, would it be appropriate for UT to promote the need to help this player?

When I was alerted to this fund raiser last night, there was approximately $3,200, in the fund...Now we are approaching $50,000...Way to go Big Orange...

He wasn’t questioning

He started it here, and basically saying “hey as long as this is OK here……on this site……let’s help this guy out.”

And folks are……thanks MCdad

It really is amazing, humbling even, the generosity.

GBO!!!

Just donated, I usually keep that kind of thing secret, because I don't want anything out of it. However my names plastered on it. lol Started feeling guilty enjoying that number going up after refreshing and not adding to it.

 

[vanillagorilla]

Just hit 50k

 

[vol66]

BOOM!!! 50k in just under 24 hours. Unbelievable!!!

GBO!!!

Tell me you haven't read the thread without telling me you haven't read the thread.

Or maybe what’s wrong with it is people jumping to conclusions on the internet before fully understanding the situation at hand?

The question in the original post is rhetorical, just a different way of framing it than a direct call to action. This post has, undoubtedly, moved the needle quite significantly as was its clear intention from the get-go.

 

[Capt Straight]

Donations have now topped $50K!

 

[IndianaVol]

Every media outlet that ripped Danny White and this fanbase over the GoFundMe for new goal posts should be forced to carry this story - from $3500 to over 50K in just 24 hours !!!

 

[davethevol]

That is awesome!

 

[EasternVol]

Sure. Even if he was a Gator (where's the barf emoji?) but moreso since he's at a UT campus.

 

[vols496]

Approaching $53,000, so proud of our fans, our state, and the people of goodwill that have contributed.

UT Martin asking Vol fans for donations for player who lost home in Hurricane Ian

BOOM!!!

 

[Grand Vol]

$50,000 in 24 hours...

@Freak I know he wasn't doing it for any other reason than being a good dude, but McDad probably deserves something. Even if it's a badge or honor or something.

 

[Volbackhomefromtx]

Somebody has to light a flame before there can be a fire. McDad did that with this thread last night. I would have otherwise missed the plight of this needy family. My hat is off to you, Sir, and to VolNation for coming to this family's aid.

 

[KHVol]

Many thanks, McDad….a Lot of good is coming from your post

McDad for Mayor!
Seriously nice job

I wish @McDad could get some credit for starting it all.
