Maybe you will be able to afford a $5.00 donation next year if you save your pennies. At least you learned where not to ask for help if one of your family members is inflicted with a horrible disease. |

This is the exact reason why one should not ask for contributions on this board.....................the largest contributor may try to use it as leverage. Shame on you Dan. Am am inferring nothing, Jim. What contribution? My bet is that John will make the largest since he is matching any from this group. How does any contribution convert to "leverage" involving discussions here? |

Your restatement is narcissistic as are your "look what I got today" posts. |

It is also in poor taste to then display the names of contributors and the amount of their donations for all to see. What one decides to donate should not be public information. No class. He isn't posting anything. You can be anonymous or use a fake name. The website isn't maintained by John which *should* be obvious. |
