The Richard and Ed Donation thread.

[RICHARD]

I am in dire straights at the moment and, with my heart in hand, am looking for donations to assist me in moving out of my mom's house.

I only have two requests.

I will not accept anonymous donations and I plan on paying pay back every penny donated to our cause.

So don't be cute and try to slip anything by me.

----------------------

The reason I have posted this thread is that, because of a small technicality with a sibling and the court, any payouts from the estate will be delayed into January of 2011.

I made a stand here and fought as long as I could. My sibs and I wanted to try an buy back the property by making an offer for it, but economically? It just wasn't feasible.

I went thru all my savings to keep the taxes on both of the properties current, make the basic necessary repairs and keep the lights and water on.
I feel like I accomplished quite a bit against the odds that were stacked against me.

I am not looking for a handout. Just a hand.

As I said before, I will not take any anonymous donations and hope that you all accept this as one of the conditions to my request.

Thanks to all of you who have prayed and sent me good thoughts during the last 2.5 years.

They have helped me more that you could imagine.

Thanks.

Ditto.

Also Richard the taxes should be paid back to you out of probate. When my brother died my sister paid for the funeral and I repaid her through probate, submit a bill for the taxes to the executor.

[Bonny]

Count me in. Is your Christmas card address the place? Also any repairs, insurances on both places that you have paid, dig out your checks, receipts, etc. May the force be with you.

[Shady]

Please send me the information as well.

Me too, let me check and see if I still have your address. I was in the Christmas card exchange a couple of years ago but I have not done it since then. If I can't find it I will ask Karen to PM or e-mail it to me.

Thank you,
hug,

Ditto. Although if someone sends you cash w/no return address, what choice do you have but to accept it? I understand your feelings, Richard, but I doubt that any of us expect you to pay us back. This is what friends do for friends. No handouts, just a hand up. However, I will respect your wishes. Just be sure to give us the most recent address. Keep the faythe.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

do you have a PayPal account by some chance?

Send me the info and I'll send you some of our Canadian colored funny money. Don't worry, it's real.

RICHARD,

Do you have a PayPal account? If not, PM me with your address.

[robinh]

Thought I had the address, but can't find it. Must be on old computer. Can someone PM me?

[Karen]

I will PM you!

[Lilith Cherry]

Please let me know where to donate too Richard... I want to send it to Ed as he wont try and return it, smart cat!

I will respect your wishes though but really hope you change your mind!
