Did anyone give money?

Recently someone was on the board telling folks he was down on his luck and looking for help. With one claim being that this person wanted to take some children fishing.
I have heard that some of you sent this person money.
I DO NOT WANT NAMES OR USER NAMES MENTIONED... However I do want to know if anyone gave this person money? Fishing Gear? Assistance with a fishing tournament?
You can email me at [email][email protected][/email] to let me know or send me a private message.
I am checking into a complaint made to me concerning the validity of the persons information. IF he recieved money under false pretenses I need to know.
