Desperate Help Needed - Noah

[NoahsMommy]

It's almost the day! We're all looking forward to it with you!

Oh, and is Darling a definite new roommate?

Thanks, Karen!

I just asked my parents if I could talk to them tomorrow evening after work. They have plans at 6:30 p.m. to go to their old neighbors house for "garage night", so we decided to talk before, at around 5:30ish. I'm really feeling positive, I *think* and am even getting positive vibes that they wont be totally mad at me. Who knows, maybe it will go well. It would be so very nice, you know? I love my parents and would love to remain at peace with eachother. I've NEVER wanted to have to be estranged from them.

So, we'll see.

On Darling? Its looking like it. Kristin wasn't sure, but I was kind of getting "I want to KEEP her" vibes.

OK, this is so that when I get an accounting from Balcom, I have everything in order if I need to dispute this. I noted when "Ashley" told me (on Aug. 3 at nearly 3:00 p.m.) that 'after "a month" the rate per day goes from $12.00 to $10.00.'
Here we go:

I brought Noah to his "Spa Suite" around 5:00 p.m. on Monday, July 30, 2007. From that night (7/30/07) to 8/30/07 his rate was $12.00/per day.
The math is as follows:

7/30/07 to 8/30/07 is 32 days.
32 days x $12.00 per day is $384.00

8/31/07 to 2/2/08 is 156 days.
156 days x $10.00 per day is $1,560.00

Total days = 156 + 32 = 188 days
Total Fees= $384.00 (at $12.00 rate) + $1,560.00 (at $10.00 rate) = $1,944.00

So, the TOTAL CHARGES that should be entered on Noah's itemized statement should be $1,944.00 and needs to be calculated as I did above.

Do you guys realize you have donated NEARLY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS to Noah...and to our future? To the future of me and my kitty family? To MY FUTURE of freedom, happiness, healthfulness.

I thought I was shocked/floored/speechless before! Wow. You guys not only donated an AMAZING amount, but you did so without a second thought, with your hearts, readily opening up your lives to me. I know I'll never, ever be able to thank you enough, but I hope I can convey at least a fraction of how SPECIAL and WONDERFUL you all are to me. I'm blessed because of you, and because I know each and every one of you.

I love you all, with all my heart. If there is EVER anything I can do for any of you, please, allow me. I cannot tell you how much you've helped me, how you've changed my life. I promise not to EVER forget this kindness and WILL 'pay it forward'.

Love, Kelly & Noah

If I figured it out right, you should owe, at the most, $100. I don't know why they won't tell you who donated because they sure ask our first and last names. My donation was mentioned in your one post. Not long now! I do hope it goes peacefully and you can have some sort of normal relationship with your parents. Maybe they'll see the light, so to speak. Looking forward to seeing pics of you and your new place. I know your health will improve when you get out of that toxic atmosphere. And kitty purrs to help you along, too

I totally agree!! Especially since I was told this:

Noah's balance when I pick him up will be $260.00 on Saturday 2/2 between 2:00 and 4:00 pm!

I got the above message at around 9:30 a.m. on 1/23 from one of the employees @ Balcom Cyn. If they got Val and Brody's Mum's donation, that would take it down to $160.00. (Val, you mailed that around the 22nd, right? So that wouldn't be included in the total then?) If there were ANY made after 1/18, it would be even lower and as per Gini, her's wasn't counted yet.

Hmmm....I'm calling them NOW and will expect an answer and a fax tomorrow morning.

I'll keep you all updated.

P.S. Val, thank you!!! ((((Hugs))))

My payments were made by credit card and they have both been done. Yesterday's cleared that day. I don't remember the exact date that the other payment was made but I think it's in this thread. I guess we should have appointed someone here to be bookeeper on this, huh?

Val,

Your CC payment cleared on the 22nd or 23rd?

If so, that wasn't in her "we got payments/checks on the 15th and the 18th".

Hmmm...

[dukedogsmom]

I'll have to check later when not busy at work. I don't know if there's a way to check and see to prove they took it out or if it will just show as an electronic withdrawal.

Oh, I'm sorry, hun.

I guess I just need to know when you called in with the CC. That way if its after the 18th, we'll know whether it was applied or not.

Thank you for your help, Val.

Hugs, Kelly

Was on the 22nd.
ETA: Going to bed soon. I hope today brings you some peace and things work out alright.

The last time I made a contribution in January they did not ask any info from me, but the payment did go through on my credit card. So I don't know if they can provide you with a full list of contributors.

Good luck with the conversation today and the move tomorrow!

[Ginger's Mom]

As for their informing you - they certainly SHOULD be advising you WHO donated -
most places withold the amount the person donated.

Unheard of to refuse to acknowledge the donor.

Most places are charitiable agencies or organizations that are familiar with dealing with such things. I thought that Noah was at some sort of cat boarding facility, and they probably are not used to receiving charitable contributions. They only have someone to do the book keeping for their clients payments. I really don't think they should be blamed for failure to keep a list for Kelly. They can tell her when payments were received and the amount received, that is part of their regular book keeping practice. They probably have no need of any other information as it is not part of their normal service/operation. They should not be held responsible for keeping addtional records not needed for their business. Were they asked and did they agree to do additonal book keeping for Noah?

[NoahsMommy]

Good Morning,

I agree that they don't necessarily owe me a listing of WHO gave what. I understand they aren't used to this type of arrangement or set up to do this. I'm sure more than one person there applies payments, be it CCs over the phone or mailed in checks.

I DO, however, expect they will have the means to fax me an itemized statement with the charges and the payments listed. That should be apart of their regular reciept system.

I've called and left a message with a fax number and my work number. This was at 8:10 a.m. If I do not hear from them by 10:00 a.m., I'll call again.

Thanks so much, my loving PT Family.

Love, Kelly & Noah

Kelly, as of this morning my check had not cleared my bank - but they certainly should have it by now.

[NoahsMommy]

UPDATE from Balcom,

I wonder if they knew I was going to call at 10:00 a.m. if I didn't hear from them by then. I JUST hung up with Sonia from Balcom Canyon. Too funny.

She's faxing the itemized accounting as I type this. I heard the fax machine ringing...and she said that someone called yesturday and paid the remaining balance of $200.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whoever did that, will you please PM me so I can properly thank you?

This is AMAZING, you guys. I never expected any financial help at all. But you all did help in that way....not only that, but you've all collectively paid nearly $2000.00!!!!!! I had anticipated at least paying for the remainder tonight. (I got my first FREEDOM paycheck today. I wont be giving this one to my parents. YAY!!!!!! FINALLY, its MY hardearned money!!!)

I know I keep saying "thank you" and how wonderful you are to me...but its so very true!

Love you guys,
Kelly, Noah, Basie, Micah and Phoebe

If you re-read post #271 from yesterday, I think you'll know "Who Dun It".

I just called them and left a message about my check -
because I want to be sure you get the credit
and don't have to pay when you pick up Noah.

THANKS, "Mystery Donor"!!
