'Ay, you say that like everyone else actually BELIEVES that! I seem to recall not too long ago reading someone's posting that they saw that someone had contributed a bit over six US dollars to FR and was kind of snickering about it.
For those of us who are disabled and have no form of gainful employment, it is as much as we can do sometimes to contribute what we can to help out, and though I would like very much to be able to contribute the generous amounts that poster thinks should be made, I would like to point out that I contribute at least what I can, in whatever amounts I can pull together at the time. As do some others, I suspect. It may not be much to some of you, but it is the best that can be done and at the expense of other things at that.
FR is truly a blessing and although I would like to contribute more (or shame quite a few others into contributing more -not that they bother to read threads like these, mind- and often) I am unfortunately able to at this time. So, I contribute what I can for a good cause.
Would love to become a monthly donor but the best I would be able to do would be to make a verbal (or email) promise to JimRob to do so, since I could not guarantee that I would be able to do so every month without fail.
*Ahem*... "unfortunately NOT able to...
Sorry. Getting tired.
Brother Utilizer, if you are contributing even a penny, then you are in the 5%.
More than that it says that you care.
Some are more and some are less blessed than others with available cash. We all know there are those who make excuses, but there are also those who care and do what they can.
You are part of the latter group....and that makes you part of the 5%!
A few FReepathons ago a lady whose family had lost their house and was living with relatives donated $3. That $3 was pure love and so very appreciated. If others want to snicker, let them. It shows where their hearts are. How many of those who snicker never give anything? That posters $3 made me cry.
