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]

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.

Does this mean that monthly automatic donations are halted?

Not as far as I know. Those are already established from bank account to his bank account. I believe the concern is if the electronic donation page for new donations will or will not properly connect to banking institutions and possibly whether or not FR’s intake side is properly secured.

Please correct my post. I’ll send this via “report abuse” too.
I think my post can be interpreted to mean automatic payments already arranged have halted and I actually meant using the donations page now to make donations has halted.

I don’t want people to donate via check in the mistaken (I think) belief that automatic monthly electronic payments have halted.

Also - could you place the address for donations in the post. Thank you.

FReepers. I’m so sorry I didn’t see this issue before posting.

Is there another way to donate? I'm in England and haven't used cheques for years and I doubt they'd be accepted in the States anyway.

There is usually Paypal which we use, just not now.

I am currently on an automated plan.

Will my automated payment continue?
