    I asked PayPal to discount their discount fees, the reply was unless we are registered as a non-profit they can't provide any discounts. But I will pick up the tab for any PayPal fees to make sure all the contributions get used for the intended purpose.

    Smile Zahid

    I just wanted to thank you Zahid for doing this for Dennis, very nice gesture on your part. I will be sending my donation in through pay-pal- I will rummage through the thread to find out how to do this.

    and Dennis,
    I hope all goes well with you and your family- I wish you the best! Hang in there buddy- we are all trying to help
    Sincerely,
    Brian

    Thank you Zahid.
    As one who has been through this I can tell you that this can happen to even those of us with "good insurance". I lost my first wife to breast cancer...and by the time it was all done I was more than $250,000.00 in debt. If it wasn't for other blessings in my life...I'd be really in trouble.

    Have an Idea.

    Zahid,

    If someone can figure out a way (Simple and Fair) to have a lottery of some kind I will donate 100 Board feet of super 4/4 cherry and ship it anywhere in the lower 48. I will donate the lumber and pay for all shipping costs. The cherry was sawn from logs harvested in Northwest Pa. beautiful color 95% red and clear at least one face. I would say $20.00 per chance and all monies go to the cause. We could run it for thirty days then the winner will be drawn and I will ship the lumber or deliver if the winner is close. I just don't know of a way to do it yet. Any suggestions? Anyone?

    Mike

    Michael, what a very generous offer. I think this is a great idea and personally I would be in for $20 a chance and Im sure alot of others would be too. The world needs more souls like yours, thats for sure.

    Jim
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Michael,
    That is very generous. I would participate in a raffle if it can be pulled off. I would suggest being very careful since it coulb be legally sticky though. We are all friends here and it is a good cause but this is a pretty public place and there could be guidelines that should be followed.
    I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

    Update #2

    I got the first batch of checks this morning, about 10. The total with the PayPal and the checks now stands at
    $1515

    I have a few other ideas that we are discussing, keep your eyes on the classifieds
