In reply to the discussion: JUST DONATED! RECOUNT! [View all]musicblind
(4,562 posts)People like you are the good people, and your money can go to so many good causes out there rather than just donating in my name.
I'll do what you suggested, though. I'll wait until late Thursday night. If it looks like they are on the edge, I'll donate.
I'm one of those people the republicans consider an "entitled taker." I'm deaf (hence my screen name: musicblind), and suffer from several other ailments, and for that reason, I'm on disability. BUT, my financial situation reminds me, each day of my life, about the importance of government, helping other people, and doing all that you can for others, no matter my set backs. Our government has saved my life. I've had countless surgeries and have made it to age 34, and I know I'll have many more surgeries, but I'll also know that my government and people like you value my life and are there for me. Therefore, I must be there for them.
I sold some of my belongings during the general election in order to donate money to Hillary and I held a Halloween event with many of my friends to help raise money and register people to vote in NC.
So, just because I have only a small income, I always make sure to set some aside to help others.
Sorry for the long reply, I just wanted you to know that your offer surprised me and touched me. But, don't make it in my name, if you donate more, do it in your name. If it gets close, I'll find a way. I always do.
