IcePrincessKRS Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 [quote name='brandelynmarie' timestamp='1320272062' post='2330465'] I had bumped one of the older threads for this awhile ago, but then I figured I made a mistake & I thought the Donate-buttony-thingy just wasn't showing all of the donations. [/quote] I know CatherineM had another thread about it but I was too lazy to go look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithcecelia Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I get paid on Friday and will try to put a bit in, though I need to make sure I can pay my moving costs too - only one more payday after that til I re-enter Carmel!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Looks like Dust changed the target amount to $350, we only need to raise $80 more. Thank you all for your generosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 YAY, we only need $60.00 more now!!! that means $10.00 from 6 peeps will do it.... !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah, I re-calculated. About 1800 miles of driving, at about 20 miles per gallon, at about $3.50 per gallon, plus the cost of soda pop and tacos. We estimate that it'll be about $350 round trip. Down from the $450 which was originally calculated using a van that only got about 15 miles per gallon--we've downgraded to a mini van. Four grown men with a ton of merch all packed in... wish us luck. (Flip actually only counts for 1/2 a man so it's not that bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully in the next few days we'll hit the mark, and someone might even put it over the top enough so you can buy coffee. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked on a button and it asked me to fill in a US dollar amount but nothing else - no link to secure site for credit card info or anything - I got scared and backed off. I have AUD (Australian $$) and a credit card but I need a secure site before I give those details to anyone.... can you tell me how the donate button works? The spirit is willing but the contributor is fearful..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 So today I donated the $20 I would have spent grabbing thai food near my office on a dinner break to the NCYC fund and spent my dinner break fasting and praying for dUSt and those attending NCYC. Well, God gives back a hundredfold. After I finished praying, a text popped up on my phone. My roommate had made me dinner as a surprise! I love it when stuff like that happens.

[/quote] faithcecelia told me how to do it - and I donated the last $20 that met the target goal! I just wanted to be sure it was a secure site, and it finally did lead me there.. after asking for name and address, but I wasn't about to enter credit card details until I saw that little lock in the corner that told me it was a secure site! I just hadn't clicked enough times to get there yet. I hope they have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I'd love to read it - I think maybe you should donate it to someone closer, maybe someone who donated their 'mite' even though they couldn't make it a much as $20. I have been blessed with generous benefactors in the past and that made it possible for me to donate to phatmass at this time - so I feel as if my donation is really their donation. I'd like to pass it forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She started reading it on the toilet, and when she got up 3 hours later, her legs had gone to sleep, and she fell into the shower and had to have stitches. I could send you a pdf version if you wouldn't mind reading it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
