Sorry, but this thread is a bit mind boggling.
You guys asked for help and it's almost like you're actively trying to sabotage yourselves despite how many suggestions received, direct responses offering help,
step by step directions.
I mean, Bugeater setup a Paypal thing and raised something like 2 grand in a matter of a weekend... this place is amazing when it comes to taking care of their own.
All you've needed to do is figure out how to collect money (and not even set it up) and then tell your story... hell, I even received a rep after offering help that literally said "no, you didn't help".
WTF.
Guess I'm completely missing something or you guys have hit several more road blocks that haven't been mentioned here or that I missed, and the rodeo thing sounds frustrating.... but, unless you're completely out of a place to do this at with zero other options, I guess my one last suggestion would be to read through this thread again, compile notes of all the suggestions and offers for help, then tell us what you've decided (naming the event, a form of donation, etc.), and what you need.
I'm not trying to be a dick... multiple people are on hold to setup a PayPal or whatever if AC couldn't assist or whatever, but there are to-dos prior to that which no one else should do (naming the event, telling your story, etc.). After that, there's seriously very little to do from a CP perspective and I'm sure plenty of suggestions on how videos to upload and what not.
It just seems like the vibe from you two is throwing up your hands at a completely unhelpful CP, when that couldn't be further from the truth.
