Dear Elmers,

Please read this post:

http://www.oldelmtree.com/showthread.php?tid=27420#.Uydik1zVBfR

I know you know that we are unlike most websites in that we aren't constantly asking for funds. Things are getting pretty desperate around here and we need to ask you to please help to the extent you're able.

Sincerely,
Andrea and WaitingForHope

this is her thread:

We need some help
Folks, I really hate to do this. I hate it so much that it's been almost two years since the last time I did. But, we have to ask. We need to raise some money. It's getting hard to pay the hosting bills. There is no "extra" in my monthly budget on SSDI. Nor is there any in Waiting For Hope's household budget. She is unable to work due to the remaining effects of her stroke and her husband is the sole provider for their family of four. Believe me, I know that's the case for many of you, too. But please, can those of you who can afford something, please send a donation our way? There is a link to donate through Paypal at the top of each page, next to the picture of a coffee mug. If you don't see that, you can always go straight to Paypal and send it from there to the email andrea@oldelmtree.com. Anything will help! And we really, truly, appreciate it.

For those who can't afford a monetary donation, please think about doing some recruiting for us. We need more active members. That is always very helpful.

If anyone out there knows how to do the back end of myBB bulletin boards and wants to volunteer some time, we would certainly appreciate it. Max is gone and we are not sure if he will be back. We can't afford to hire anyone.

Lastly, thank you to all of you for reading and contributing your voice. Every pair of eyes on a page is valuable. Every post you make is valuable. If you are currently just reading, please consider becoming an active member. The more voices the better!

We love you all!
andrea@oldelmtree.com

wonder what happened to Max?

He probably got tired of waiting to be paid.

Crazy Andrea is in a bind.

She's begging for money, but the only people who could afford to help her are repukes like us.

And most of us would enjoy watching her starve.

So Crazy Andrea is in a bind.

WaitingforHope still hasn't dragged her ass out of bed?  It's been a long, long time.  I remember her being extremely whiny and helpless.

Scamdy cost yours truly $9.95 a month.

That was some years ago, as I abandoned the web-site circa 2007 (Fat Che then bought the domain name, but I dunno if he still has it), and so such sites may cost more now, but surely not much more.

So what's the problem with money?

I had some vibes available two weeks ago, but got the tires rotated and balanced, and now there are no vibes to send.  Sorry.

I have some white light in a box somewhere.  I just need to find it.

Yes, I can pm you my address and you can mail a check. You'll need to make it out to me, though, because we don't have a bank account in OET's name (yet). Thanks!

So Crazy Andrea is in a bind.

I have more than enough capacity to carry her tiny forum for nothing more than a charitable tax write-off. The question however, is would I ?

Well, Crazy Andrea's whiny post has been up for about ten days.

Five responses, two of which claimed to send donations.

It was such a short while ago that she put up the OET internet store and expected it to put her on Easy Street with Skimmer.

Crazy Andrea should get together with Crazy JimRob to learn year-round fundraising.

You guys are forgetting a vital component to the hand equation:

I hope this helping of Healing White Lightâ„¢ is enough to cover all of the hands already posted in this thread...
