The Richard and Ed Donation thread.

[RICHARD]

I am in dire straights at the moment and, with my heart in hand, am looking for donations to assist me in moving out of my mom's house.

I only have two requests.

I will not accept anonymous donations and I plan on paying pay back every penny donated to our cause.

So don't be cute and try to slip anything by me.

----------------------

The reason I have posted this thread is that, because of a small technicality with a sibling and the court, any payouts from the estate will be delayed into January of 2011.

I made a stand here and fought as long as I could. My sibs and I wanted to try an buy back the property by making an offer for it, but economically? It just wasn't feasible.

I went thru all my savings to keep the taxes on both of the properties current, make the basic necessary repairs and keep the lights and water on.
I feel like I accomplished quite a bit against the odds that were stacked against me.

I am not looking for a handout. Just a hand.

As I said before, I will not take any anonymous donations and hope that you all accept this as one of the conditions to my request.

Thanks to all of you who have prayed and sent me good thoughts during the last 2.5 years.

They have helped me more that you could imagine.

Thanks.

Ditto.

Also Richard the taxes should be paid back to you out of probate. When my brother died my sister paid for the funeral and I repaid her through probate, submit a bill for the taxes to the executor.

[Bonny]

Count me in. Is your Christmas card address the place? Also any repairs, insurances on both places that you have paid, dig out your checks, receipts, etc. May the force be with you.

[Shady]

Please send me the information as well.

Me too, let me check and see if I still have your address. I was in the Christmas card exchange a couple of years ago but I have not done it since then. If I can't find it I will ask Karen to PM or e-mail it to me.

Thank you,
hug,

Ditto. Although if someone sends you cash w/no return address, what choice do you have but to accept it? I understand your feelings, Richard, but I doubt that any of us expect you to pay us back. This is what friends do for friends. No handouts, just a hand up. However, I will respect your wishes. Just be sure to give us the most recent address. Keep the faythe.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

do you have a PayPal account by some chance?

I have missed so much since I was last here. Do you have Paypal? If not, can you PM me with your address? I will get something to you pronto. And you know we don't expect it back. That's why its called a gift.

My brother came over to 'see how I was doing

My first question to him would've been "WHY??"

I see a "gene pool flushing" in your future.

[RICHARD]

I wanted to let you all know that thanks to all your notes, prayers and donations that everything has worked out as best as I (and you all) could have imagined.

I must wrap up the house in about three weeks and get moved. I do have a place to go and am thrilled about the whole deal.

--------------------

I also want to tell the people that donated to my cause that I will be contacting you about mid February to repay each and every one of you. I also am going to ask the people who sent me donations with the "Pay It Forward" clause attached for your ideas or wishes and plan on sending you a receipt...... you may be able to use is as a tax donation?

I could probably try to tell you how much you all have meant to me-but then I'd have to stop and do the LES thing... Geez, Don't think that is beneath me.
