A DUer Bought My Star !!
I made mention in a thread about donations that I have been out of work some lately and couldn't give right now. Before I knew it, I had a pm from a DUer telling me they had taken care of it.

I asked how this could be repaid, and this DUer told me it was her way of helping in the fight. She is even too modest to let me mention her name.

Thanks so much! I'm sure I'm not the first or the last DUer this has been done for. Much appreciated.

You folks are wonderful!

1. How typical
Seriously, it's the reason I'm so proud to be on the left -- we not only talk the talk, but walk the walk. Kudos to your donor!

5. Thank you
To the benevilant person who donated for yours and for mine. It's really tough out here and I appreciated their generosity as you do.

When things turn around for me, I will pay back the favor in kind. In the meantime, I volunteered on the streets to get our message out. (I "worked" in her name.)

Thanks to the person who helped both of us.

6. Someone bought me one too!
I've been working 2 jobs to try to pay the bills, plus being in grad school, while my fiancee has been unemployed - a former computer programmer.

While my fiancee is now working, it pays a whopping $50 a month, which isn't helping much in alleviating our financial problems.

We just keep hoping it'll lead to more work.

I don't know if the DUer who's been generous to me would want her name mentioned, and I won't without permission, but I greatly appreciate her generosity.

Hopefully I'll someday be in a position to do the same for another DUer.

9. Sorry for the inconvenience
A few people have had this problem today, we're trying to figure it out. If you go through the PayPal option on our donate page you shouldn't have a problem.

Thank you everyone for your contributions!
