For John/Randi

[koxka]

I'll send her some spanish goodies that she loves.

[jenluckenbach]

Oh my, what a dilemma for me.......looking at bread and water for the rest of my life (Charlie losing job) and yet.....to GIVE is a blessing.

Count me in.

[RobiLee]

I'm in.

I can't help but think what a great place this is. Such loving and caring people.

Debbie, I sent you a PM last night.

Thanks everybody. I just got in this morning and am going through the threads and will then answer all PM's.

Yes, if you have my name and address from the Christmas list, that info is still valid.

Delidog - and anyone - if you want to send Randi something seperately, you can just add it to what you send me and make a note of it. The reason for this is before I send actual money to Randi, I'm going to look into getting it converted to Euros - or whatever Denmark uses as currency - does anybody know? Anyway, I was thinking this way would be easier on Randi, otherwise she will have to figure out how to cash a bunch of American checks.

I'm going to see if I can get in touch with UniqueViking, she might have some insight into the currency exchange portion of all this....

[Killearn Kitties]

I think Denmark uses Danish Kroner (DKK). I'm afraid I don't know anything about how it is best to convert or send a lot of different currencies though.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Debbie...you know those currency exchanges that seem to be on every block in Chicago? They should be able to help you convert. I would take cash though so they don't charge you for cashing the check as well. ALso, if you have a bank you do business with, they may be able to do it for you cheaper.

But you want to send a check in Danish Kroners.

Debbie...I'm sending you UV's email addy in case you don't have it. My envelope will be in the mail next Monday.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks Karen, and Sara. I hadn't thought about the currency exchanges! Great idea....but I think I'll check with my bank first since it just seems like it would be cheaper.

Danish Kroners it is!

[ramanth]

Mail from MI on it's way to you Debbie.

[Albea]

Debbie,
I'll send you a PM to get your address and mail a check to you tomorrow. Thank you for doing this.

[lizbud]

Debbie,

I will be mailing my check in the morning.If it would be easier
for you, I could get a money order instead. If it makes any
diffenerce at all, please just pm me, o.k? Thanks so much for
taking this on & communicating our good wishes to Randi at this
sad time. Liz.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Liz, I'll respond publicly because others might be thinking the same thing.

A personal check is fine. I'm going to have to deposit all in my bank account anyway, and then write out one check when I convert our donations to Danish Kroners. So don't go through the trouble of a money order unless you really prefer it that way. I also actually prefer the personal check because then I can keep track of everyone's names and addresses in case Randi wants to send thank you notes and also, just so she knows who gave.

Thanks so much to everyone!

Mine is on the way. Thank you so much Debbie Gosh, I hadn't thought about the currency exchange either!

I'm with you Jen but how could I not give? I still have my hubby, a jobless hubby, but at least he is still here to comfort me. I can't imagine the pain that Randi must be experiencing.

Thank you so much Debbie for taking care of this. I know it is going to be quite an undertaking. If you need any of us to do anything to help out please let us know.

My check will be in the mail Monday.
