Default Sheryl needs our help

Folks

By now I think everyone knows how sick Bruce is from Semroc. He was air lifted to another hospital when his kidneys shut down

Without going into details, I've been there myself. Sheryl now has tons of expenses with traveling to/from the hospital, paying for meals, parking, perhaps lodging, not to mention what medical bills that won't be covered by insurance.

Semroc has been a major asset to us, the rocket community, over the years. Even after the sudden loss of Carl, she and Bruce has kept Semroc going selling some wonderful kits and the supply of parts for the scratch builders, cloners, and up/down scalers. They created the SAM club for even more discounts. They have greatly supported us.

Now it is our turn to help support them in their time of need. I know there have been many posts wishing them well and prayers, but I think they need even more.

I already went to Paypal and sent money to sales@semroc.com. If we all can send a little it will be a big help. Again, they have supported us - let's help support them.

Thanks
Les

Since this thread is about helping Semroc, I wanted to point out that I just tried to visit the Semroc website and it appears the domain name expired yesterday!

I got an update from Sheryl as another alternative

Just found out that their church has set up a fund for Bruce. The web page is Radiant Chruch.org. If any rocketry members would like to contribute, that would be wonderful. Make sure they include their name and address. They are also setting up a baby sitting schedule for Lucas (9 months) that will carry on as Lisa needs. She hasn't left the hospital

It looks like the domain name can't be poached yet, but will become available soon if Semroc doesn't renew it ASAP. I hope Bruce isn't the only one who knows the GoDaddy account information.

Can you be more specific with your URL? The one you posted gets redirected when I try it. There is a smilar URL that is tied to a church in Raleigh, NC, but the URL doesn't match exactly.

I looked for a way to renew it for them anonymously (as in without a password and without it changing hands), but all I could find on the site was a way to negotiate it away from them.
