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.
My condolences very sorry to hear about your loss. God bless you all.
Just checked my account.
The payment was deducted.
Yea!!!
Is the paper check to the physical address preferred or the link to the electronic deduction you provided?
You’re so kind. Here’s the donations via credit card link:
https://freerepublic.com/donate/
....and, I’m going there right now. Race you!
I don’t know of any other way than physical checks or by credit card. If you are comfortable giving credit card info, that would probably be best because of your location.
Thank you very much for the thread, ransomnote! I’ve been wanting to post something but I’m such a mess right now. I open a posting form and try to collect my thoughts and end up thinking of Sheila then burst into tears. Someone said on the other thread that the only way to get through this is to power through so that’s what I’m going to try to do.
John has re-written our secure credit card processing API and has tested it and it’s working fine. So people can now donate by credit card or make mail-in pledges.
Our mailing address is: Free Republic, LLC - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794
He’s now started on re-writing our PayPal API and that should be ready soon.
Our monthlies will continue on as before.
Thank you all very much for your support and your prayers and for hanging in there with us.
God bless.
I am having my wife send a check. I am 7 hours from home and have no checks.
I am sorry for your loss. God bless.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family, in Jesus' Name.
I’ll send a check for more than my usual end-of-the-month contribution to FR. I might put a note in there with it; something someone (can’t remember who — the sock of the situation does that)told me shortly after my wife of 30 years died in 2011: “You don’t get over it; you get used to it.”
Praying for you Jim. Power through it does work. When I suddenly lost my husband, after powering through the first month or two, for me, the way to cope was to spend time in the Word. It has been over 6 years, and that is where I still spend much time.
I’m so sorry for your loss. God bless you during this difficult time. Thank you for this forum and please take care of yourself.
Great idea. Thanks for proposing it...
So sorry for your loss JimRob. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss.
You and John and Sheila are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless You, JimRob!
Most can’t say they’ve found a soul mate. To lose one when found is devastating. She will be waiting for you, and she’ll take you in her arms on that day. Stay strong.
Thank you for the address. This is a very sad time for the Robinson family. Without FreeRepublic, the stresses of today would be much much harder to withstand.
May the Robinsons be blessed, we feel for you at this time
