Starting a Fund Raiser for Jasper

[Dogz]

Hello PTers,

As some of you may have read, Jasper has been having some health problems. For those of you who have not heard about Jasper, here are some links.

"Tomorrow we're going to find out!! *Pics too*"

We didn't find out...

Didn't find out anything again(also bad news)

I hope those links help you to understand Jasper's story.

Here is my idea. Robyn said that she and her family is short on money. The approximate rate she gave me for Jasper's medical needs was $200.

Well, I have been thinking about this for quite a while. I really want to help with Jasper. I don't know if any of you have been thinking this, but maybe we could give Robyn and Jasper donations. What do you think?

I would love some ideas, about money differences, how to send the money, etc. Anything! Any ideas will help this get started.

Please let me know what you think.

Ask Robyn to talk to her vet about it. If he/she accepts donations, then get the vet's information.... that way, people can send their money directly to the vets.

That's what we did when we needed help with Orion, the kitty.

Also, a few people gave the idea of opening up a PayPal account. That way, people can just add to the account. I don't know much about the PayPal stuff, maybe someone can fill me in on how this works.

I *think* PayPal charges for it's service. Not much, but still.. every penny is worth something!

Kay's idea sounds good.

When a certain kitty in Canada had big vet bills, we worked with the vet's office so people could donate directly there. I think that's the best idea.

I agree, this will work nicely. I will talk to Robyn about it.

I agree about sending money to the vet. A lot of us don't have Paypal accounts. Since I quit doing my credit cards, I don't want to put my debit card there. I would be willing to help a little.

Wow, Im glad other people would like to help!

I was really flattered when Emma PM'd me, that people were this concerned about my little guy

I will definatly call my vet today and talk to her about that!

[Dogz]

Robyn-- After you talk to you veternarian, could you please PM me the information? We will need an address (city, state, and zip code), and also a phone number.

After I get the information, I will be posting a new thread.

Just saw this -- and I think it's such a thoughtful idea, Emma.

Robyn, any word yet?

Just thought a few would like to know, $200 Canadian is $146.70 American.

Good luck with the donations! I'm sure we'll get 200 in no time!

I think that's great idea.. I'd love to help.. just if I'll get some money Hope Jasper will be OK soon..

YES, I would like to help. Many of you helped out (especially on the cats side) when Orion had a broken leg. I am not sure how much, but I would like to help out.
