    May fund raiser that won't cost a penny...in memory of Braveheart and Tuvok $14.41

    A few months ago jenluckenbach posted a thread (click here to see it) about several ways to donate to her cat rescue charity. One of them was to use http://www.goodsearch.com as a search engine and have her charity listed to get the 1 penny from each search done. I've been trying to do that as often as I can since that post.

    Originally I was going to just bump that post again so that others may see it and help get them some donations. But when I was searching for it, something I found gave me another idea.

    Here's my plan:
    For each penny raised by using goodsearch.com going to Jen's One by One (Kutztown, PA) charity during the month of May, I am going to match that amount in Braveheart and Tuvok's memory. So, start searching because every search now will be doubled! If anyone else would like to offer to do the same, that would be wonderful. If you can't pledge monies, then be sure to support the cause by using goodsearch.com! Make sure that you've selected the correct charity for the pennies to go to also!

    For those of you that don't remember the previous thread and are sometimes lazy like I am, here's Jen's first post explaining the different ways to donate.

    #1--use www.goodsearch.com and select your charity as "One by One (Kutztown, PA)". Then search for something! 1 penny for every search can add up quickly!

    #2--shop through www.igive.com and select One by One, Inc as your charity. Then when you shop online through any of their stores (and there are hundreds of choices) One by One gets a percentage! You can also download their IGive Shopping Window which allows you to never miss a donation.

    #3--Donate through paypal. visit www.1by1.petfinder.org and scroll down to the paypal button.

    #4--Send checks or money orders to One by One, P.O. Box 226 Kutztown, Pa 19530. Any amount, big or small, even a spare dollar found between the couch cushions.

    #5--SPONSOR a kitty. This is a bigger commitment. $10 a month helps tremendously with our soaring vet bills and other expenses. Visit http://1by1catrescue.org/sponsor.htm for info on sponsorship.

    Thank you for reading and considering a donation. And don't forget, #1 (good search) is totally FREE, so please use this feature to help the kitties.

    How nice of you!

    Just remember, Tuvok was never in the One By One program, Jen has to manage that HUGE vet bill herself.

    Thank you for this wonderful gesture!!!


    Now, while it is true that I did pay Tuvok's $1,100.00 ER vet bill, I am still hopeful to get some reimbursement from One by One. And the Basket raffle being held by my vet and her associates, will also be going towards that large bill. So supporting One by One will aid them in getting my money refunded.....see??


    So let's start searching. And keep bumping the thread so all can see!

    Gary, another thing you could do is just bookmark the Goodsearch page or add it to favorites. Click there and then you can make sure you still have 1 by 1 as the charity. (every once in a while, when I clear out the computer, I forget to make sure 1 by 1 is my charity, and some searches get "wasted" )

    I got it to function at work! I have to look up drugs and researchers' names all the time, so it's a good option for me.

    I have Goodsearch as my default search engine here. I just did a search on "Braveheart and Tuvok." What came up but this thread!
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    Also don't forget to shop through GoodSearch. I just noticed that eBay and Amazon are both on there and will donate a percantage of what you spend to One by One. There are probably several of us who purchase from those places often.

    There are many stores to shop from.
