I sent something small to the paypal address earlier today.

I have a little 1 of my own coming Friday. He's coming ready or not due to some complications...

I don't want to make a promise I can't keep on a monthly basis but after things settle down I will do what I can as well.

If enough people can do the same, maybe it will sustain them for a while. I wish I had more to give but I'm kind of thin these days.

I'm going to go with 20.00 and that lowers it to only 38 more members or 19 more at 20 bucks. Any combination works to get to the 400 I suppose.

I am not going to hound people about giving, but I will kindly post up a reminder each month so that those that would like to give can.

I like this idea. I'm in, also.

Rob, yes, please post up a monthly reminder.

OK - thought about this last night and here is what I have come up with.

If you want a monthly reminder. ( not an obligation, but a reminder ) PM me your email address and I will send you a monthly reminder. I am going to set up something to do this automatically.

Would you be able to post a monthly total collected? A visible trend could be a motivator. Also a note as to how they are doing; not just financial, just a note as to how they're getting along.

I could ask Irish to give me updates each month as to how much they have in their account.

Count me in. Not everyone might be able to contribute every month, but I'm sure that together, we can make it happen. Also, if we go over, I am sure there are other resources that might be needed at some point.

This is such devastating news. I can only imagine how hard it is for people close to Tim. The way he has touched me and others on this forum is not something many people are capable of via the internet. This might not be a large forum, but it is a special place. (In many ways )

Dixie, as for the bird, my mom had a bird tapping at the window for several days after my uncle died.

I'm in. I sent funds when I saw the link on fb. I am by no means well off but $10 a month I waste easily. Better to invest it in Tim's children.
