Default Anybody know?

Is this for real? Sent directly to me.
They used the NAR Logo of the Red, White and Gold winged rocket.

Dear Member,

One of our members is in dire need of the entire National Association of Rocketry help and it will be appreciated if we can support her in any way. A fundraising campaign has been created and we are counting on your support. Below is the fundraising campaign, thank you for your time and support.



Agnes would like you to
Support Jamie Recovery
by making a donation and helping
spread the word.




Jamie is a 3 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Fanconi anemia; a very rare and dangerous type of anemia. This causes him to have physical abnormalities, shortness of breath and nose bleeding.

Jamie has to be transferred to the OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Oregon. It's going to be a long, painful and expensive process. He will need to undergo a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible and if he doesn't get the procedure done, we will lose him. The entire process will cost $45,000 and we have been able to raise $19,400.

We are asking for your financial support as both me and my husband are self-employed, leaving us with poor insurance coverage. We are knocking on your generous heart to support us financially in this journey and any amount given will truly make a huge impact. Most importantly, we also hope you can whisper a prayer for our little boy.

Not for real - there was a warning posted on the NAR Facebook page by Carol Marple about this.

Sounds like a typical SCAMULATION.
