I think yahoo deserves to get the necessary help he/she needs to survive the health problems as long as its true. He is a longtime member who has supported this forum in his own way.
The money involved isn't a small one. Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary proof  and once everything Imis provide the forum must rally around one of its own to help him/her survive. Life is worth more than the amount he's asking for. He could also be helped to get the desired treated/cured at the fraction of the cost or free of charge. Nothing is impossible
It will be really sad to a another important member taken away from us.



In regards to begging accusation, why would you call someone who really needs help a begger? What? Is something wrong with you? That's childish and should never be used for people who really needs help from us. And do ever call people who aren't really begging beggars: Here is a Wikipedia definition of begging:

Begging (also panhandling) is the practice of imploring others to grant a favor, often a gift of money, with little or no expectation of reciprocation.



May GOD help yahoo who as been kind to  many of us in the past
