My EMT bounced back for wrong password?? Oh well, I was gonna donate to fundrzr anyways, and use it as an excuse to bump the thread.

Wife saw the story on Global after I had mentioned the details. She was pissed. We are donating. Maybe this is the thing that will start turning the tide. Many of the folks at work feel the same way.

Hi all, for those of you who didnt sign up for updates, or sent EMTs instead of donating to the fundrazr account:
I received this email update today.

"March 12, 3:04 PM



First off, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for the support you have shown towards Eddie (Edouard) Maurice; the Maurices are truly grateful. I also want to let everyone know that this fundraiser has been created with the consent of the Maurice's. The family has asked me to express their gratitude as well and thanks to everyone for their support with the message:

“Eddie and I are overwhelmed with all of the support everyone has given us. We appreciate knowing the community is behind us during this difficult journey. It means so much knowing we are not going through this alone.”

There has been a lot of questions asked because of this campaign and the media stories that have been posted. With any situation of this nature, there is a lot of sensitive information that can only be discussed between those involved and their counsel; so let’s start off with what can be talked about.

Eddie Maurice got married in August of 2012 to his lovely wife Jessica. They currently have two beautiful children and reside on some land outside of Okotoks. Eddie is a skilled machinist and often fixes and builds parts for local farmers as well as local commercial operations. Eddie is also no stranger to farming and agriculture; in the spring he can usually be found in local calving pens and as the spring moves on he is usually found helping neighbors brand.

I have known Eddie and his wife for a number of years. They are both kind hearted people that will help whoever they can in any way possible. Eddie is a little quiet at first, but once you get to know him better he is a wealth of knowledge and always happy to share his experience with anyone who asks. To me, Eddie and his family are the “salt of the earth”, the kind of people (and neighbors) that the world is lucky to have.

Spare time at the Maurices is spent in a number of ways, but all of them include their young children. From knowing the Maurice's I can say that their children are their life; they are the true meaning of family. This family is always on the go doing something, some of their favorite pasts times are going to the park, camping, and almost anything to do with the outdoors as a family.

It absolutely turns my stomach to think about what this family is now going through. They have put so much time and dedication into their lives and now it is all in turmoil.

I hope that we can all bind together as a community of Foothills, a community of Alberta, a community of Canada and a community of good, hardworking, honest people to stand behind one of our own.

I hope and pray for this family; all we can do is stand with them and beside them as they go through this unfortunate event."

The man needs his day in court, and he doesn't deserve to have his family and life destroyed, in the process of trying to get it.



That's why I'm donating to the family. I don't agree with shooting someone over an insurance premium, either; but I think our system is so out-of-balance right now, that there is no chance of this man (or the perpetrators) actually getting justice.

Wife and I are just getting out of the 'toddler phase'. Taxes are almost caught up, credit's coming along and the bills are getting paid. I'm making pretty good coin and she's almost fully up and back to work. Life is stabilizing and right now we're a benefit to our community and society.....and something like this happening to my family, would just about destroy us, and would have me out on the street, ironically probably to end up the same ruined junkie committing these loser-style petty thefts.

I can't go down like that (and brother, society does not want me playing for the bad team. Trust me :l), and it's only going to stop, when we decide to stop it.

I was on the fence but not anymore.
Who do I need to get in touch with to get the EMT info?

just a heads up....an EMT goes 100% straight to them...all of the funds. Its great to donate in any way, but I'm not sure what fundrazr takes for a "administrative fee"....(check out post #1 for alternate donation info)

So if you want to do an EMT ...the simple way to make it easy is to put the answer inside the question...for example:

Question: "what color is my red truck" and register the answer as "red"

The support on this thread is outstanding Makes me feel real good seeing the firearms community come together like this....and another shout out to IRG's......THEY ARE AWESOME for taking this thread on.

I will definitely buy my next purchase thru them

They take their fee as a seperate charge. For 50 bucks they added a 4 dollar charge on top so none of it comes out of your donation which is nice.
