Adopt A FReeper

Unlike the federal government, which has the power to steal money from you to pay for programs and policies that you don't support, Free Republic relies on the voluntary donations from it's members.

While there is already a large number of FReepers and lurkers who donate on a regular basis, either monthly, quarterly or a generous yearly donation, it's not enough to cover FR's operating expenses. There are also FReepers who would like to donate, but just don't have the resources because they are temporarily unemployed, living on a fixed income, have on-going medical expenses or other family obligations.

I will make a $25.00 donation on behalf of another FReeper who would like to give, but just can't right now. Are there any other FReepers out there who are willing to give just a little more? I'm asking you to step forward and commit to sending a small donation, $5, $10, $20 or more, in the name a fellow FReeper who doesn't have the funds right now.

What you can do:

If you have a few extra dollars, post your pledge here or put "Adopt a FReeper" in the comment box on donations page.

If you're a FReeper who would like to donate, but money is tight, please post here to let us know. You can also FReepmail me and I will try to match you with another FReeper who has indicated they are willing to send in a few extra dollars.

LOL — okay, good. I saw that rainbow font and started putting two and two together...

[goodnesswins]

OKAY...now HOW do I make it happen???

CGEB is long gone....lol.

[goodnesswins]

never mind....I figured it out....thanks...

What you can do:

In the comment page of the donation section just say that you adopt “Ladysmith” so that your donation is in her name.

jellybean has instructions at the top of the page. I followed her instructions when I adopted Sarah Barracuda for the year as a monthly donor.

[onyx]

LOL. I typed too slow.

FReeper #27 would like to thank you!!

You rock vis a vis!

[jellybean]

Just got home from work and looked at my pings! The generosity of my fellow FReepers is overwhelming!!! This is stupendous!!

I have 2 more FReepers in FReepmail who are looking to be adopted.

Do we have anyone who is looking to adopt?

[jellybean]

I have someone in FReepmail who donated $25.00 on your behalf!

Bless you MS. BEHAVIN!

We are very happy to welcome you into the “family”.

[onyx]

I don’t want to confuse you, so I think it’s best if you go thru the threads by yourself and see if you arrive at my same conclusion...lol.

I made one adjustment that you will see.

It’s been a wonderful day of generosity and FReeper love for one another!

[WVNan]

I just assume that Jim Thompson will just raid my bank account for the extra adoption money.

[onyx]

LOL. You mean you don’t have to make the effort to donate? LOL.

[jellybean]

Looks like you did yoeman's (woman's?) work tonight!! I haven't been to the FReepathon thread yet, so I don't have all the open adoptions yet.

FReeper generosity can't be beat!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
Thats wonderful!
Thanks so much!

[jellybean]

Thank YOU! MS. BEHAVIN! You’re a much loved FReeper!

(((HUG)))

[WVNan]

Nope, I just tell Jim to rob the bank.
