Morning all. Please will all sellers post their received totals in here with details of which charity benefits, and how the charity is being sent the money? Thanks. I'll update the top post with a running tally.
This month my nominated charity was: Fisher House Foundation, so that's what I'll tally. All other charities will get a mention (if you choose to let me know) so we can see how we've done as a whole.
Payments to Fisher House Foundation can easily be made in the US direct to their site. http://www.fisherhouse.org/donate/
If anybody in the UK tries that method, please let me know how you get on so I can update this post to say if it works for us or not. I'll try myself later if there's no immediate news.
If it turns out we can't pay direct I'll gather the funds by paypal gift (you are welcome to pay me this way anyway if you wish) to kim at bykimbo dot com. I'll then enroll the help of an American friend to make the transfer.
I'm sure it will all work out!
Cheers, Kimbo x
*****************
I'm going to start with money sent to me for Fisher House Foundation so at least *something* is recorded!! I'm not going to attempt to track what items the money is for since I've had money sent to me on other people's behalf, and money sent to me for items that *I* bought, and money sent for goodness knows what so I'll just slap it all down and hope for the best. Lots of rounding up as usual, thank you everybody! x
