Well, I usually don't do stuff like this, you guys and gals know that, but this is a special case to me, so I'm posting.

One of my best friends, Kim, has a daughter with some problems. We went to High School together and became very good friends, and kept up while I was away in the Army. Her husband is a disabled Navy Veteran in pretty bad shape, but he is improving. She's one of the only people from those days I still talk to, and she's a great person. Her family now lives in Florida and their daughter needs help, in the form of donations. I don't want to make folks read something they will not help with, so if you are in the like mind to help out a wonderful person and her family with a small donation, please check here.

I really appreciate it everyone.

If you can't donate now, check back later, and if you can't at all, encouraging words are always accepted.

Thanks for your time everybody.

TO DONATE...

http://www.4pawsforability.org/donation.html

Click on the Paypal button. Note in the SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS that it is for Jennifer Peterson.

Will you please verify with Kim that donating via Paypal with "Special Instructions" of "Donate to Jennifer Petersen" will help her directly?

If it won't, then I'd prefer to send her funds directly.

Sure. someone else donated $15, but to me to donate to her. Let me look at it really quick.


She just told me...

You had a post about donating through pay pal. If they go to www.4pawsforability.org they can do donations there through a paypal thing(I am not up on paypal really) and make it with instructions for Jennifer Petersen. I did not know if I should post on your site or not so I am just sending it to you.


I will forward the payment sent to me.

You guys are awesome. Feel free to post what you donated if you want, I'll get a running tally going

So far.

$15



I just sent $30, so $15 from the other donator, and $15 from me.

$15 sent via Paypal Refund to avoid Paypal fees. Please forward to Kim for me.

This forum has had some unbelievable fund raisers for our members. This is a great way for us to reach out to those who really need help.

I encourage everybody to send at least $5 for this cause, but make it $15 if you're financially able to.

I thought I'd give everyone an update here.

Your money mattered. Everyone that donated managed to get her case pushed up and noticed by someone in the news. It got put in the paper and a fund raiser ensued, and now she's fully funded. Kim wanted me to thank you all so much, you guys made a HUGE difference in someone's life.
