That is why I "refused" any sort of Gofundme page. Really not something for me. It was a close case for me.....But after probably like 10 days after my post with No thanks to Gofundmepage Aeneas contacted me.....and you know the rest from him.
I was thinking about it a lot, then I said to myself, if somebody contacted Aeneas after that my "no thanks" post, that really means something and it would be now like "polite" to accept. After a few days of many conversations with my family and friends, I said yes, thank you very much. I would probably really not be able to come this season, not that I have no money, but I just have no money for CGY trip /family things etc/.
So here I am, uncomfortable, but unbelievably moved by this whole thing. It really means MUCH to me, it is nice to have this kind of huuuuge support. Will be really "SOMETHING" for me again to go to the Saddledome, to see my beloved Flames, Jagr in a CGY uniform on my own eyes, to see all of you guys again etc.
Thank you very much!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that won't come around again. To see your childhood hero and countryman play for your favourite team is so incredibly rare and you can't save up and get it back.
I get where you are coming from, no one likes to accept "charity" but this is also very cool for us on the forum who get to live vicariously through you.
I will try and make it to the pub to meet you, but if not enjoy Calgary again.
