Hjälp till avliden kitesurfers fru och barn

[eddie]

Fan det här slog an en av mina känsliga sidor.
Jag som annars brukar vara så känslokall och hårdhudad!

Hoppas bara att pengarna kommer fram till rätt adress. När min flickväns kusin bröt nacken i en kiteolycka för ett par år sedan så lurades hon och hennes familj på mycket av pengarna av ”insamlingsorganisationer” som skulle hjälpa till.

Det är hans bästa kompisar som står bakom insamlingen. Rent praktiskt sker inbetalningen sker via PayPal och det står det i hans frus namn och adress, så det är bara hon som kan lösa ut pengarna! Alla jobbar stenhårt för å få in pengar nu — jag får nästan intrycket att de jobbar heltid med detta. Folk hjälper till från alla håll nu — det är folk som jobbar i försäkringsbranchen (som kitesurfer) som hjälper hon med hans livsförsäkring. Kitesurfere som jobbar i tidningar och tv, hjälper till att publicera. etc etc

Här är en email från en av de som också står bakom insamlingen:

Hey gang, Elliot, Seth and I visited Veneta and children this evening and they seemed to be holding up very well under the circumstances. The daughter Nicoleta and Stoilen[spelling??) were doing homework. Veneta offered us Stoil’s beer, as we sat and discussed this calamity. They live in a very interesting but hard to find apartment building that was an orphanage at one time and looks kinda like a castle overlooking the Hudson River.
The Bulgarian government is looking into Stoils death and according to Veneta a second autopsy is to be performed. She was told that the time of death was around noon on Sun, I think she said 12:29 PM Sunday, but I thought he was found before that.
She seems practical and wants to move to a smaller less expensive place. I guess is not responsible for credit card debt on his card.
Heres the kicker, Stoil had interviewed for a great paying job last week and was excited and almost certain after the interview that he had got it. The letter came Monday notifying him that he was hired!
Seth sensed that this was a new beginning for them and that Stoil understood that he would be working a lot so he felt forced to stay out a little longer on the water than everyone else.
Elliot set up the memorial service for 2:00 PM Sun at Long Beach Conn. Elliot has prepared a speech and I am sure others will say something as well. I will be driving Elliot, Veneta and children to the ceremony.
Before we left Seth gave some fatherly advice about their homework, we spoke to how determined and enthusiastic their father was about learning and we told a few stories about Stoil, and made them laugh a little. I don’t think the reality has set in for them yet.
Stoil would have never expected this, you have all done so much! Ken
