DUers---I need help! Many have generously offered
to donate to help another DUer. :bounce:

We know that many DUers are out of work or in need. They contribute to DU in many ways. I posted that I would try to match folks up either through a thread or PM if someone wants anonymity.

Here's my problem. I have more donors that donees. So if you know of DUers that need assistance, please let me know. Thanks.

2. One more point
I have pledged to delete all my PMs on this after the donor drive. I barely remember names of people I know in real life. There is no chance I will remember anyone's name from this in a week or two. ;-)

3. I have received a PM from an anonymous member who would like to remain so.
But this member would really appreciate a star. If someone would like to make a donation for the anonymous DUer, I will give that person a star.

4. We are in the unemployed boat.
My husband has been an unemployed IT professional for 7 months. My job has been to stay at home with our 4 kids. It sucks trying raise 4 kids and pay a mortgage on the measly unemployment pittance. I still am going to try and make a donation next week. I spend so much time here, there isn't a reason I can't give something.

I encourage those that are able to do the same. :-)

donated for a few people that I have had little spats with, whether it be football (Go Packers!) or politics. It's a very good feeling. I highly recommend it. :hi: But do it annoymously, it's a whole bunch of fun....like Christmas!

11. I'd be a willing recipient
.
.

been outta work for awhile, just got back from an interview, - maybe, maybe -

oh -

IF one y'all like, I'm in Ontario, Canada: so that would be ON on that "scorecard". I don't see anyone from Ontario there yet, . .

I don wanna be hidden away under the " ?? "

And I could care less whether it's anonymous or not . .

14. I've felt guilty about getting so much
and being unable to give. If I had joined a year earlier, I could have donated. But the nightmare of immigration is expensive... (lawyers and just general government fees and hassles.) I am not legal to work in Canada, and my partner is not legal to work in the states. Right now maintaining a toehold in two countries is killing us financially. I'm done whining now ...

P.S> I got star envy...pity me!;-)
