Those of you who sent money to my PayPal, I'm going to write a check to the charity and send tomorrow because I still haven't heard anything about a PayPal account. I will send the checks I received as well. I only got a handful of donations but something is better than nothing.

Too bad you haven't heard anything about the Paypal account. Thanks for all your hard work!!!!!

Suze, thank you for trying to organize this. I think part of the problem has to do with trying to organize something relatively close to her birthday. For something like this to raise a larger amount of money, and get recognition from Stevie or her "people" I think it would have to be set up many months in advance. I think more people, including myself, would be willing to give if all of the details were worked out prior to making the donation. Having said that though, there is nothing that says a donation has to be made specifically for Stevie's Birthday. It is a wonderful gesture to make anytime. If donating to the AHI, perhaps it can be done around Jess Nicks' Birthday? I'm not sure when that is, but I'm sure someone knows. Also, for those who are reluctant to donate to charities just because Stevie supports them, you can always make a donation in Stevie's name to your favorite charity. Many times they will send a note of thanks to that person. Stevie probably would never see it, but hopefully people aren't giving to charity just to get a pat on the back from her.

Well that's pretty obvious in hindsight. I though a month would be long enough to get some donations together. I didn't realize that the charity wasn't fully formed. Also, just because her 60th has passed that doesn't mean we can't still give a donation in honor of her birthday. Of course I wanted to give it in time for her birthday. I didn't know that getting the name of the charity would take so long and it would be nearly impossible for them to set up a PayPal account.

Thanks to everyone who donated and tried to help out. Those who sent me PayPal donations please PM me for some details on that. My PM box was full but it isn't anymore.

Hey Suze..

You are right on- girlfriend! I SOOOO appreciate all of your hard work, as it is a hard task, and your efforts are SOOO appreciated! I'll PM you!

Just spoke with the PayPal people for the third time. I'm just having trouble with the old account (I forgot I have a new one). The money is in there as verified by the PayPal customer service rep. I am waiting for an email so I can change the password to get into that account. I have been trying to do this for a week but I keep getting incorrect information. I think it is finally straightened out and I will be able to get the funds to my new account, write the check, and get it off to John at the Nicksfix ASAP. Sorry this has taken so long. Thanks for your donations!

On edit this is all straightened out and I'll be able to get the funds off today/tomorrow. I have received and claimed PayPal donations from the following people:

Deborah R
Arlene L
Stuart H
Dayna V
Margaret F
Jill L

On edit again, I received checks from:

Mariel D
Sandra M

The total amount of donations including mine is $335.60. I guess it is really not a lot but it is waay better than nothing. The average donation was $35 with donations ranging from $10 to $60.

a respectable birthday gift - especially considering the last-minute nature of it.

thanks, suze
