As of this morning, I am caught up with acknowledging all PayPal contributions and answering all emails concerning my address. If you sent an email or contribution and you have NOT heard back from me, please email meā€¦from what I can tell, my email appears to be working just fine, but you can never tell. This doesnā€™t apply to people who got my address and have contributions coming through the mailā€¦I will email YOU again when they get here, so you know they didnā€™t get lost. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Quasimodem \* > \*\*Somebody in this thread said **Quasi-Cash**. > > I know they did, 'cause I read it! > > I donā€™t need no cash.

The REAL thing is much harder to obtain, but thenā€¦after all, anything worth HAVING is worth WORKING forā€¦right? šŸ˜ƒ ---

Although I have neither enough cash to make a donation or, indeed, a **paypal** account I would just like to say - I knew this board was something special and there can be no greater confirmation than this rallying-round. Seriously, nearly beings tears to the eyes. ---

Tonightā€™s PayPal total is $2145.00!!! I am so grateful for all of you who have done what you could to help. I am so grateful for those of you who are struggling with unemployment or crushing debtā€¦and chose to send more than you could really afford. You ROCK! I am so grateful for the person who sent a whopping $500.00 donation . You will never know how much this means to me, and to our friends. They may never know what you did, but **I DO** ā€¦and I will be eternally grateful. You humble me. ---

I am totally in awe over this whole effort. Everyone on these boards is so great that I canā€™t put it into words. I donā€™t have PayPal, or a credit card, or money for that matter, but I just want to say that I am very proud of everyone that has contributed. This message board is a special place. Cajun Man, DrMatrix, I wish the best of luck to you both. ---

Weā€™re doing better. Our feelings of hopelessness and desperation have lessened considerably, thanks to you good folks. Itā€™s easier to put our full energies into our main objective . . . finding gainful employment . . . when the threat of eminent homelessness has been at least temporarily removed. Weā€™ve always been proud to be a member of this community . . . but never more so than now. ---

PayPal total as of now is $2250.00! And several wonderful folks have sent checks and a phone card, too. Mail total is $370.00! Thank you! Every time I check my email there is another contribution. I canā€™t tell you how much it warms my heart that so many peopleā€¦who in many cases are struggling themselvesā€¦are willing to help. This message board is, indeed, a VERY special place! [sub]Oh, and **Kricket**? You are going to have to email me, I seem to have lost your email address. [/sub] ---
