Harald's 4x4s are tools of his trade, not toys! Check out the link to his site, and remember that European guests don't always bring their own vehicles;

Would you tell a wrangler to get rid of his pets? He will need his tools when his leg heals.


I was going to say the same thing. Total ignorance on the part of people not familiar with Harald, IMHO.

Thought I would bump this up. No fee is charged when using paypal, there is a fee with gofundme.

I would always vote for using paypal or a similar online system
no fees when money is sent to family or friends, funds can be withdrawn without any restrictions

gofundme charges 5% or 6% (of course now that I am signed up, I can no longer see that information) plus 2.9% for processing, plus $0,30 for each donation.
On top of that, you don't determine how much money you withdraw - they do.
As of yesterday I had about $1,100 accumulated - they allowed only a withdrawal of $727.05. No explanation is given why and why that amount.

I don't mind when someon providing a service, will charge a fee. It bothers me that the rules are not transparent.

Absolutely right, one has to have the wherewithall to pick up where sickness put a stop to business.

I get that!

We are rooting for this to come to an end - sooner than later. Keep positive!

Sad news on top of bad news Harald, it is a terrible time to lose a friend! I have a dark brown version of your dog, and her company is an important part of my life right now.



If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

That's usually not fatal and fairly easily treatable. Bad case?
