While I'm sure you mean well, and it's not like HN is full of trolls who want to trick you, you shouldn't just be asking for PayPal accounts that you'll willy-nilly send money to. You have no idea if this story is true or if this is just a scam. Let's at least do some due-diligence, then we can get a serious campaign going.

I'm sorry to be so skeptical, but I've seen some truly conscienceless scammers--both on and off the internet--to not trust anything anymore until it checks out from multiple angles.
