The Richard and Ed Donation thread.

[RICHARD]

Update?


Both homes have passed escrow and I will be leaving her on around March 19th.


I am happy to say that I will be contacting the people who have donated to the 'cause' - as soon as I settle and get my feet on the ground.

Thanks again to everyone.

[RICHARD]

Another update?

The court held a hearing on the 2nd of september. There was another extension on the case and the FINAL hearing should be held on the first week of December, 2011.

I had hope that the September 2 hearing would have closed the case and that I could have put some of my problems behind me. I have NOT forgotten everyone who helped me thru this very difficult time and hope that I can make good on my promise to catch up with everyone who made a donation to the cause.

Thanks to everyone -for their patience, time and consideration!

I have good news.

The final court date was last Friday, Jan 27.

After all this time, I am glad it is almost over.

The judge has to sign some paperwork and I will begin the process of sending out the funds that you donated to me and the Edster. My attorney believes that the funds will be available by the end of February.

I cannot thank the people who assisted, prayed and sent me good vibes during the time that I needed it.

I am very proud to say that I am a member of Pet Talk and part of a community that is so caring and giving.

Thanks again.


I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate you all.

(The Edster thanks you all too!)

Do me a favour Richard. Take the money I donated and instead of sending it back to me, donate it to one of your local shelters or rescues. It will do more good there.
Luv ya

I told you that before: Find some kitties who need the money.

I like Slick and Barbara's idea of passing it forward to someone or somewhere in need of a friend. That would be my choice also.

I already told you what I sent was a "birthday gift", and you had better not say it was the wrong size, or the color just wasn't "you". I agree - do what Slick said. In my case, a small dog rescue would be perfect, but any rescue or shelter would be fine.

So glad to hear that this whole ordeal is almost over.

Same goes for me.

[robinh]

A thought - tell where ever you choose that the donation is from the "Friends of PetTalk".

[Pinot's Mom]

Pay it forward, Richard, pay it forward. There are needs everywhere; find someone deserving that has fur.

[RICHARD]

I have some great news for everyone.

The estate was FINALLY settled and I am going to be contacting everyone who was able to help me.

As I stated in my initial post, I am going to return the funds donated to me and the Edster.

Again,

I cannot tell everyone how much their notes and well wishes meant to me.

This process is going to take a little time, so please bear with me and let me know if your contact info has changed since you helped me out.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!

How lovely that PT has come together in this way to help a fellow member. What a great community!

I'm glad everything has worked out for you, Richard.

(...really. )

As I said before - you can't return a birthday gift! If you must do something , then take what I gifted and donate that to a shelter, or buy Ed and Tucker some toys and/or treats.

So glad for you that everything is finally settled. It has been quite a long and difficult road for you. Wishing all the best for you from here on out!


ETA: If you consider donating to a shelter but don't want to give money, you could always give food or supplies. Most have websites and a wish list section.

I have a 'project' in mind for the local Humane Society.
They publish a monthly magazine called the "Paw Street Journal" where they detail their needs for the area shelters. In it, they have a list of stuff they need. (When the car hit the house, I lost the last issue and the notes I had made...they ended up in the debris.)

My idea will acknowledge the PT site and the people who are going to make it possible.

It's going to take a little leg work, but I'll keep everyone posted.
