HELP FOR YORKIEGIRL

As suggested, I have started a new thread for the above

This has gone on MumsOnline from Sabian


I've changed the donation page to only go to Anna... The reason I did this is because of the IPN (instant payment notification) of Paypal will report back to the donation page meaning that any/all monies will be listed as a running total to keep this as transparent as possible.

I regret that I'm not the best with wording at the best of times so if you feel that the text on the page isn't appropriate or if you'd like it to say something else, please PM me and I'll change it.

To get to the donation, please go here:
www.mumsonline.net/forums/donate.php

Again, this is set for [email protected] and all monies donated will be reported back so that there'd be a 'running' total as it were. As far as those who donated, we'd only be aware of who you are because of the Paypal details but there'll be no mention on here (by us, you are welcome to say that you donated if you want to) and nothing will 'flag' in your account to say that you have donated.

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via pm or email... I'm going out for a few hours today so I'm going to pm Tilly my mobile incase something needs to be done urgently.

EDIT:
I just wanted to add that if you are uncomfortable with using Paypal to make a donation, I'm sure someone who is closer to YG may be able to take cheques/postal orders or something... That would have to be set up by that person. You do not have to have a Paypal account to make a donation though, only a credit card or debit card, so don't let not having an account prevent you from helping!



This is what has been posted on MO to make a collection for Anna. I really feel that at the moment, it will just be cash that she needs, in terms of practical support.

If you want to send a card, please email me for Anna's address lisa(at) rangey (dot) demon (dot) co (dot) uk

Pixie has told her friends on scrapbooking sites so for now, I think there is little more we can do

thank you everyone for this, I know it will be of trememdous support to her

Thanks Tilly and to MO for organising this and letting us in on the action.
Something very similar happened to one of my oldest friends ten years ago. Her dp went to bed early with cold-like symptoms and a headache and died in his sleep. She too found him. He was 41. My heart goes out to you Anna, truly.

Can we have a non-money help area too? I can't do cash, but live fairly close so can offer day out for girls or all of them, plus any other practical things that come up.

I'm sure that Anna will need that sort of support too SecurMummy, but its early days at the moment. I know she will appreciate your offer though, thank you

Good to see how well both sites are pulling together on this to help YG and her girls. The running total collected is amazing!

Do you think MNHQ could link to this on the home page or have it somewhere prominent? I know it is another parenting site, but thing the cause justifies it.

This is why these parenting sites are so important.

If you don't have Paypal but do have a credit/debit card you can use the same link.

On that link page, click ont he donate button. Then on next page, click where it says "if you don't have paypal"...

Otherwise e-mail for address for cheques.


Thought you may like to know the running total now stands at £720. That is so fantastic!

Thanks Tilly and Hulababy and to Mumsonline for setting the link up...I hope this will be of some comfort to YG and am pleased with the running total. I can't see that as I am not a member.
