Eric Lyon long time member and admin of Namepros was one of those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Eric has made several updates on Facebook, while he and his family were rescued, Eric posted he and his family lost everything.
There is a GoFundMe page, and I am working on organizing a live chat auction to be held on Namepros in chat. Details to come.
The GoFundMe page was not set up by Eric but rather long time domain owner George Verdugo.
Of course Eric’s family is not the only family affected by Hurricane Harvey, here is a link to donate to the Red Cross https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey
I don’t know Eric but I’ve never heard anything but good about him. I stayed on his FB page as he posted. I wanted the real news! I’ll do my best to help spread the word in my circles so we can get Eric and his family back on their feet!
Thanks for sharing. Eric is a stellar guy and he and his family need our support!
I wish if i’m rich person to give him one house and car and everything he lose .
i do support as i can and i will when i can .
hope he and his family doing well
Amen
My heart goes out to the many impacted by the hurricane. I encourage people to support Eric if you can. For whatever my name is worth in this industry, I can tell you that Eric stands out to me because he is a rock solid person and has really “leaned in” to help educate and evangelize the good name of domain names and investing in / developing them.
Thank you for posting this. Eric is a good guy with a big heart who goes out of his way to help others. He has a wife and small child. I know him and George (who started the GoFundMe) to be honest hard working people. I have no doubt all money donated to Eric will make it to him and be put to good use. Please help get the word out and help Eric get through this hard time.
I don’t have a facebook account, so thank you Raymond for posting the information from Eric I could not previously see. Eric and Amanda have always stepped up to help anyone and everyone, so this is the point where we all need to step up for our friends (more like family) to help cover their immediate needs, and help recover at least some of what was lost. My prayers go out to the Lyon family, as well as the many others affected by this horrible storm. I will continue to tweet the gofundme link often, and post it everywhere I can.

Eric is one of the good guys in domaining.
I hope him and his family get through this and the same goes to all of the people of Texas and people affected in other states as well.
Wishing Eric and his family all the best, pleased to see people are helping out
Eric, I am glad you and your family are safe and well. However, stating that the National Guard did not come back for you is not timely. The National Guard and all the 1st responders as well as volunteers are AWESOME!!! Thank God You And All Your Family Are Safe!
Good to see Eric and family are safe great guy lets get donating help Eric out.
Prayers to you and your family.
The domain community is ready to help.
Take care.

How is insurance working out for all affected, I have heard roughly only 15% can be reimbursed?
I just posted an update on NamePros here: https://www.namepros.com/threads/pl…the-houston-flood.1038234/page-3#post-6331670
God bless you all.

The link to the GoFundMe page returned a 502 error. Anyone else experiencing this? I don’t know Eric but have also heard nothing but good things about him. I’m praying for him and his family during this stressful time.
I got there and made a donation

Whatever issues that sometimes arise within the domaining community are all erased immediately when you see the impact domainers make when all come together for a tragedy like this. Domainers Friggen Rock!
Anyone reading, Please donate any little thing you can to this great family.
Thanks for this. Its our responsibility to help our online friends when they need us. Love and Support for Eric.
Glad to see the GoFundMe campaign reached its target level
