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.

I am so happy to know you received wonderful mail! God bless you, sweet friend! Your kindness, generosity and beautiful spirit made a lot of people happy today - both givers and recipients.

Have you thought about pitting the dog lovers against the cat lovers...to see who would contribute most in their pet’s name?

What a grand idea!!!! I love it!!!!

Go ahead...lol.

Do we still have one outstanding $10 from Florida donation? I would like to assign that to the other orphan in #151.

[onyx]

LOL.
You made me look!!!

[onyx]

Yes, by my count, one $10 donation from Florida as shown in post #93 on the FReepaton thread.

Thanks goes to all the great, generous FReepers who stepped up to make a difference for someone else! It is very inspiring!

FReepers have always been the best and this thread is once again, proof positive. Like Tiny Tim said, (paraphrasing) “God bless everyone.”
