I do not have any formal association to this eBay auction, nor can I stipulate that the proceeds will be dispersed as stated. But I was aware of this effort as it developed.
Assuming funds are dispersed as stated, they will mostly go to support the trust established in her name.
I was offered the opportunity to officially affiliate this web log with the effort, but declined.
Nice that you provided the link, but I think we would want to be sure of who the money was going to. And this would have to be for someone who is angry at all of Aruba, when it is probably just a small circle of corrupt individuals or a large circle of corrupt individuals, most of whom are not in Aruba. So the bumper sticker is out for me.

If proceeds would go to a bank trust or something to the contrary I see no harm, but why are they only selling one of them ?. Why put just one up for bid. Makes no sense. Have many and sell them for a set fee buy it now.
Then ensure that proceeds go directly to the fund set up.
What has happened to Natalle is a sad and heartbreaking tradegy. No one should profit off this for themselves.
Hard to understand sometimes why people do the things they do.
Go figure !

FYI,
I believe fundraising for any cause must be approved by Ebay. I think through "MissionFish"???
Ebay is extremelely anal retentive regarding fund raising.
My guess is,
that auction is gonna be pulled.

Mary ANN,
Found this on the link here to ebay auction. Not sure if that info is legit either, but wanted to share that with you, I thought the same about them not bidding off more than one.
This auction is for only 1 of 250 bumper stickers that I have ordered. The remaining 249 will be placed for auction sometime next week once the shipment has arrived in my possession

I Just looked and eBay pulled the auction. They'll probably have to re-word the ad to comply with eBay guidelines.
