A "Lil' Bit" of Help for our Friend Jackie (Kalibeck), Please? - Page 1

Jackie, if you're reading this, please forgive me for embarrassing you. It was a necessary evil. I know of no other way to contact these kind-hearted people who have been following your inspirational story on this forum. Please take this in the spirit it was meant and don't feel anything but the stress relief we're hoping to bring you so you can keep your strength up without the hassles of managing daily life & finances. 

Everyone else:
As we all know, Jackie's been dealt a hand that's hard for even someone as strong as she is to deal with. It's a fact. Whether she wants help or not, I'm sure she could use it, particularly with her work situation as it is now. Many of us are not rich. Far from it. However, several have struggled with wanting to help her without her having to ask (we know she'll never ask!), so I've come up with a tentative plan to help our friends Jackie and Carl. 

If anyone wishes to make a donation,  my PayPal account will be set up to take donations for Jackie. I have worked out a deal with PetFlow.com where they will make her an account so she doesn't even need to leave the house, if she's not feeling up to it.  The goal is to get something to her with enough time that she can use it for Christmas. My thoughts are something she can use for the mutts and something she can use for general expenses, whatever they may be (winter utilties come to mind!) though I'm open to ideas if someone has a better one. 

Please email me for information or to give a gift. Every little bit (or is it Lil Bit ;-) ) helps. 

Again, Jackie, please don't be angry and I sincerely apologize if you're embarrassed. You truly shouldn't be. If you were the type to ask, you wouldn't inspire so many people to want to help you. And we WANT to help you. 

p.s. It's all Susie's fault.   She made me do it. 

Thank you, Jenny!
I don´t even feel guilty... I´m German, and Germans are crazy, everybody knows...
You should blame Jenny, she is native American
Jackie, I´m sure, as soon as you are able to do it, you´ll give this help back to the next human or animal in need!
Before then we are trying to make your life only a littlebit easier...your dogs will LOVE their extra knucklebones !!!
Jennie, please be so kind, I need your PayPal account.
Kind regards from Germany
Susie

My PayPal account is my email address in my user profile. I'm sort of hoping making people click on my profile will cut back on any spam or attempts to screw around with my account...

PLEASE PUT "JACKIE" in the memo or email subject so I can keep all this straight and keep good accounting. Thanks, all!

Okay, it´s easy - even for a German.
Klick on Jenny78 - than click on "send email" - now you are able to see her email address.
Afterwards log in to PayPal - you only need to fill in Jenny´s email address and your donation.
We are a community - and a community should support its members ( even if they don´t want )

 

Excellent!!

There are some wonderfully kind, generous people who read this board and don't post! 

ooops, jenni.  i just sent some & neglected to ear mark it
for jackie.  you will know mine by the email address.  it is
a good thing you are doing.
pjp

Jenni- I would help, but don't have a paypal acct! Any other ways to help ?

Yes, Cmills. I will set it up and let you know when it's done. I have a deal w/PetFlow- I just need to finalize by giving them the info, so you will be able to call and pay them w/a credit card or whatever, and they'll make an account credit in Jackie's name. I would've done it all like this, but I was thinking she could end up w/more food than her dogs can eat, and she might need some winter utility help or maybe want to buy a few gifts? So, I was going to split the fund accordingly. 

Ziegenfarm, got it, thank you, and I marked it. I recognized your name. There are a lot of people I don't know, though, so if everyone could try to remember to put Jackie's name somewhere in a note, that would be great. I'm going to refrain from using my paypal account until this is done, if I can avoid it. so I don't have to go through and itemize my Christmas crap from the Jackie fund. 

Thanks again, everyone! I swear, seeing this add up is way more fun than what I'm supposed to be doing right now (writing a business plan..bleeccchhh).
