If there's not a new one floating around that can be aquired, id gladly send mine to him. Might need to clean it up a bit though.
Just a suggestion and in light of the situation, I'm sure that with all of our resources, we can put this together into a "Turn Key" operation to where all VT has to worry about is load and go.
OK, my dear peeps. We have a chance to do a little something nice for someone who could really use a little nice right about now. (Wonder Twin powers, ACTIVATE: seething mass of goodness!)
This ↓ mod, needs to get to it's home!
I made this mod for Vtwin in this last run. We'd been holding off on invoice/ship, as he had some life stuff getting in the way. Basically, we agreed to wait until after brain surgery to complete the transaction. I heard back from him this week, and the news was not good. The surgery went well; but brought with it a new prognosis. A very bad one. Such that he has only a number of months to live (2-9). His note to me included sincere apologies and stated that he would have to renounce his claim on the mod as he was in no position to spend money on niceties (my wording) given that he has to save and salvage as much as possible for his wife, after he's gone.
Well the massive forces at play in Vtwin and his family's life aside (as there's not much I can do about all that . . . . wayyyy beyond my teensy realm of influence), I'm not good with a tip of the hat and a toodle-oo. I insist (as I know you all do too) that this man have his mod and enjoy the wee bit of comfort and pleasure it affords him. More importantly, I think a loving gesture from a bunch of us would go a long way to warming his heart on a cold, cold day.
Big surprise here: I'm not in a position to be that magnanimous all by myself. It seems my intentions have gotten far out in front of my abilities. I'm thinking, however, knowing what loving and good peeps we are around here, that I'm not the only one who would stumble upon this train of thought. So, what say we all (i.e. some, many, a subset of us) pitch in and get this mod where it belongs?!!!
A certain spivey, derelict, speaks-his-mind (even at the cost of babies being trampled by angry rhinos . . . . ) Brit has offered a hundred bucks. I'm going to pitch in fifty. Perhaps if a lot of people gave very small contributions, pitched in on this gift, we could make this happen.
The practical/ethical:
I don't want people randomly slinging contributions. Primarily because I don't want to exceed the goal and have a logistical/ethical mess on my hands. My proposed plan of attack would be that people PM me with a proposed contribution and, if preferred, a note on preference for anonymity .. . . . I will assume all donations to be public unless I'm instructed otherwise. Also, I encourage folks to post in the thread about their involvement if they like. I will reply (PM) with a status report (on the status of the donations/goal), a formal acceptance of the proposed contribution, and my PP addy. This will be my control on not accepting any more than is required (406, absolute max/total). So please conform to the gameplan, don't improvise, and be sure to satisfy the invoice expeditiously, as it will inform me as to when to stop accepting any more.
and a secretarial note: I have to be away from practical communications for about 1 1/2 hour. So . . . I'll be back on this at noon PST.
Just in case some folks are logging in on their lunch break I shall move this up front for easier viewing.
OK, I've got a lot of pms to read. I'm sorry I had to be away for a few hours. I'll get up to speed on the behind the scenes and check back in. Heard on the Nuppin' thang. Will address these other great ideas shortly.
Ok, so it's instantly apparent to me that this will be a question of how many people I have to turn away; not one of any further need. 
No more PMs are required!

Could you reduce the amounts contributed and not turn anyone away?
Since I just got the e-mail that the thread was active I would very much like to participate if you can reduce and let us all in.
Peter, how about an additional cash gift along with the mod package? I know they could probably use it and it wouldn't limit who could contribute and how much.
