I want to thank everyone for the public and private words of encouragement. You have no idea how much they mean, help, and are appreciated!
I also want to thank everyone who has been donating here or at PMI. We are off to a good start, and it gives me hope that we might be able to raise the money fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, I have to report that the inevitable bug in the system has been found. Actually, the bug may have been a factor for a couple of years now. Apparently, a couple of years ago, a change in the system created a pathway to nowhere for my PayPal button. After getting some comments and e-mail indicating people were donating but not seeing any activity, I began checking and got PayPal to start some checking. I quickly created a brand new button and installed it which does work, and thanks to JanB for the successful test. Glad I didn’t wait, as PayPal didn’t bother to suggest this obvious idea until this morning…
The problem is with the donations that went we know not where.
If you have made a donation anywhere over the last two years and up until about 3 p.m. Eastern yesterday that I have not acknowledged, please hold/halt/cancel that donation and resubmit using the current button. I apologize for this, and appreciate your donations and your time very much. Thank You!
May this be the worst glitch that I have to deal with in regards this embed!
