Nesties Come In: Fund set up for Mrs. Landrum Here

Nesties,

I have created this page on Chipin.com.  The money you donate will go into my paypal account, and I can be held accountable to give the money to Mrs. Landrum because you will be able to see the amount raised.

This fund will be active until January 8, and after that time I will either mail or deliver in person the money to Mrs. Landrum.

Please visit this page, and any money you can donate I'm sure will help her pay her bills, offer her some comfort or entertainment, and show our support of every Nestie that's come through our community.

  • Thank you.  I cross posted on Getting Pregnant.

    And thank you to 2 nesties who have donated.

    I tried to donate $25 but then it said I can't deposit my own money into my own pay pal account.  But I am pledging $25 and will add it to the total.

  • Timmys-I just put the link over on the Cincy Babies board too.  Thank you for getting this together.

  • Thank you Nesties!  I am so glad we are able to come together to do something small for her.  I have been thinking of her constantly and really hoping she will find a way to heal from this.

    And I have been hugging and loving my husband and stepdaughter the most I possible can to show them every day that they mean everything to me, and I want to show them.

  • I just sent over my donation but the chip-in website didn't update the amount, just want to make sure you got it...can you verify?

     

    Thanks!  

  • Me too!  My donation didn't show up!! Please let us know that they are coming through ok!:)
  • I was going to ask about that too.  Can you fix it so it shows how much has been raised?  That is a really nice tool on that site.

  • Hey ladies.  I will work on the chipin site tomorrow to figure out how to make it update.  Maybe it has to verify the money clears the bank?

    I got donations from:

    Kelly K.

    Kristen K.

    Becky W.

    Rachel K.

    Margaret H.

    Sara S.

    Kathy M.

     

    So far.  Did anyone get missed?  It might take time to get to me?

    I am taking donations until January 8.  And then I will take the money out and give it to Mrs. Landrum. I have heard there is a processing fee from Paypal but I am unsure of how much that is.  I believe it's fairly small ($.50 or something).

    I will let everyone know the final amount.  I believe right now we are at around $125 plus I'm giving $25 at the end!  Great ladies!  Thank you all!

  • I just went into paypal and realized I hadn't verified my account properly so I went in and I have officially received your donations.  So I'm just hoping now that Chip In will update.

    You are all so generous and caring. 

    Daves Sweet Pea, I tried to PM you back, but it wasn't working, but I might need your assistance that you offered.

    If you'll email me at jlgarvic at gmail dot com I'd like to discuss getting the donations to MrsLandrum.

    Thanks!

  • If it doesn't update by tomorrow, then I'm going to email the Chip-In people to figure out why it's not showing.  I want our progress to be known!

    Thanks all.  

     

  • Okay, I think it's fixed!  It shows we have officially raised $130 plus my $25 for $155!

     

  • My donation should be on there now too... Thanks again for setting this up!

  • I'll chip something in later this week. She's in my thoughts and prayers.
  • I had got on here to just do something normal I always got on here and the bump getting preg board before I went to bed.  I saw this and you guys are awesome!  Words can not tell you all what this means to me.  Like I have told so many people over the last few days I had the best day (my wedding day) and the worst day (losing my husband) You never think it will be you having to deal with something like this...we are young we should not have to think like this.  One thing I want to tell everyone is makesure on home loans and things you makesure if anything happens to you or your DH that they are paid for.  We had a home loan for repairs and I found out today that we did get this and that is 11,000 that will be taken care of.  Also I know this is not how you want to think but talk about where you want to be placed to rest and buy your plots or what not.  Also have fun with the ones you love and kiss them and tell them all the time what they mean to you!  Thanks again girls you are really awesome people.  I am sorry I never got to meet any of you in real life yet.  I was looking forward too it.
