Sunim's donation page has come as the result of inquiries from hosts and supporters about how they can get financial support to Sunim.
Make A Donation
There are two primary goals for accepting donations for Sunim.
First, to help replenish Sunim's personal emergency fund. See this link for an explanation.
When Sunim's personal emergency fund has been replenished all donations will go to:
SUNIM'S BIKE FUND
Hopefully, through the kindness and generosity of others, we can collect enough money to purchase a new bike for Sunim. His present bike will not make it to Argentina. It's not made for the weight he carries on it or the continued punishment he is putting it through.
As soon as we have the funds to purchase a proper touring bike we will do so in the city closest to Sunim's upcoming location.
Or, if you prefer, you can send a cheque to:
Dave Pope
6980 Brewer Road
Coldstream, British Columbia
Canada
V1B 3H2
Each individual donation will be listed here on this page for transparency reasons. Sunim has been consulted on this and will graciously accept donations towards these two funds. If we are lucky enough to replenish Sunim's personal emergency fund and purchase a bike better suited to his needs it will then be up to Sunim to either shut down this page or let it continue to operate.
If you wish to donate but would like to see the funds go towards something different such as emergencies, hospital care, food, shelter, clothing etc. please specify and it will be done. If you have no specific requirements of your donation then no specifacations are needed.
We will classify your donation as Anonymous unless:
With Paypal
-You send us a message here on Sunims page with your name and amount/date of your Paypal donation. You can also describe the reason for your donation if you wish. This information will be posted here on Sunim's donation page along with the amount of your donation.
With a cheque
-You include a note saying its OK to post your name. You can also describe the reason for your donation if you wish. This information will be posted here on Sunim's donation page along with the amount of your donation.
Every penny that you donate to Sunim will go to these two funds. I will reimburse these funds by the exact amount of all Paypal and bank fees incurred on a monthly basis. These fees and reimbursements will be listed on the page. It is important to me that all contributors know that every cent they donate will go directly to Sunim.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity and compassion in helping Sunim!
