It would take a rather large percentage of the reward pool and allocate it to that one post. I'm not sure that's the best way to go about it.
Don't forget that individual donations can be made. If some whales want to give more, they can always dip into their account wallets and send as much as they'd like. Would be great to see Steemit, Inc. do something like that. They have millions of dollars in value and it would make for an excellent PR story about the platform's utility and generosity. That's how you do marketing (and also help someone out).
What ats said. if I wasn't a minnow I would send some.. I will still send some 1 or 2 SBD's are better than nothing I guess. I seen someone send 1000 straight to his account which was awesome, I hope more have done it

He has actually been receiving a lot of donations in addition to the post payout.

Yeah the great thing is that @darthnava 's wallet is getting hit with some great donations from users but I agree with you. More donations could really go a long way. Plus this is a member of the community that did his time in the trenches and never gave up on Steemit. Not just someone who jumped in here because they thought they could snag some coin. I even went way back through a bunch of the posts and he had made reference to his back issues and had pictures of himself in his wheelchair way back.
I'm glad to see how much has been done so far but I just really wish this could be the biggest payout of all time.

That'll be hard to do with the price being half of what it was during those previous massive payouts. Looking at what he said in the post about the costs, I'm sure he'll be coming out ahead on it already. With the price feed still catching up, the post payout should keep going up anyway, due to the increases in price today. I imagine it'll probably be close to $10,000 by the time it pays out, if prices can hold. Maybe even higher.

That is a good point on the price feed catching up. Hopefully everything falls into place. The post really grabbed me. My ability to be active and able bodied is so important to me. To think of the struggles he has been through is unimaginable.
