Listmembers
I am beginning to receive donations that are being sent.
These are greatly appreciated and will help keep the website going.
I have been sending personal emails to persons to let them know that their checks have
arrived, however in some instances I am getting emails bounced back to me for whatever
reason.
Therefore, I will be creating a page on the website to list the names of persons that I
receive donations from although I will not list the amounts.
Please check the website as
www.sweetowen.net to ensure that your donation has been
received.
Although I have been asked about the amount of money involved, I am set against stating a
specific amount as I DO NOT wish for anyone to feel pressed to send a donation that they
cannot afford.
My thoughts were that the donations would be kept simple and as and if a person can afford
it.
I have received several emails from persons stating that they are on fixed income (in some
cases very fixed) but would "manage" to send something anyway. The thought of
receiving a donation in those instances makes me feel very bad.
This tells me that the initial request alone is pressing some persons, for that reason I
am not stating specific amounts. Suffice it to say that over the past 7 years, several
thousand dollars have been spent. I don't regret it, it is definitely something I
chose to do in order to keep the site free and independent of the paysites. I just need
help currently- so that is why I am asking.
The number of visitors to the website varies daily from 20-50 and sometimes 100 persons.
I felt that with those numbers that a collective effort would work. I am not intending for
the few to donate for the many.
If you cannot currently afford it then perhaps you can at another time. As I stated this
need is not a one time thing, but neither is it forever.
I intend to take this back over as I can afford it, I just cannot right now.
I don't have a paypal account.
