However, if you would like to help, I suggest you contact Richard or Olene directly. We are only messengers here on the Forum Admin Team.Richard Vine
The account I've opened will only be used to pay for a professional carer and medical bills. A carer will enable Olene to get back to work. this is the account Bangkok Bank 3544157427. In Thailand you cannot open an account in another name unless it is a company which comes with plenty of issues.

JW was a regular poster here, but that was curtailed as his unfortunate illness set in. Here's hoping this message reaches his many friends who the original message may have missed.Another guy in our ad hoc admin group is a lawyer and he will be getting JW a medical visa on the grounds of unfit to fly. This doesn't need any funds. This was a big worry for Olene.
