FReepathon Halted [but now restarted] due to Platform Migrations; Family Grieving loss of Jim Rob's beloved wife, Sheila Robinson. FREEPERS - Perhaps donate checks to assure support in difficult times? [JimRob update at reply 26]

freerepublic.com ^ | 11/20/2020 | vanity

[ransomnote]

The donations progress bar is not active right now. Jim Rob sent out a message saying that electronic donation collections on FR were halted until they could be sure that the migrated version of FR was functioning properly.

Then Jim Robinson's beloved wife of 50 years, Shiela died. FR has been sending prayers and well wishes for Jim and his family during these agonizingly difficult times. Continued prayer donations for their comfort and healing are much appreciated.

THere is a business side of FR that the Robinson family has no time or strength to deal with right now. When someone so special and important dies, business details must wait.

Is it possible FReepers can step in and use the mailing address to send a check instead of electronic donation? The family would see them arriving and know that this important detail is being handled without their effort. I know we wish we could ease the suffering of the family in some way; perhaps this small gesture could help dismiss the fundraising detail for now. 

I don't want Jim Robinson to return to FR and find a financial pothole waiting.

Please donate a check if you can.

I’m sorry for your loss Jim.

I’m ready to help fill the tank.. incoming donation!

[citizen]

Bless you and carry on, Jim. Prayers and condolences.

[dubyagee]

I am so sorry for your loss. Hearts are heavy enough during this crazy year without the loss of loved ones. Grief makes everything so much more difficult to navigate. I speak from experience. Prayers for comfort and the peace that passes all understanding. Thank you for all you do.

No more PayPal? That’s a problem.

[tennmountainman]

What happened to the PayPal option?
Was the easiest way for me to donate.

[ransomnote]

I think it needs tweaking to properly communicate with FR on our new platform.

[GOPJ]

Prayers for all of you - you’re in our hearts... and thanks for the address and new updates. Sent mine off a few days ago... Again, much love for you and your family.
