Donations for refugees in Germany/Europe

[ashleydl83]

Give me a couple of days and I'd be glad to!

[helicase]

Thanks for doing this.

[vthokie]

You're amazing in many ways. I'm waiting on a check, so I'll probably hit you next week.

[creamsiclechica]

I just want to reiterate that you and your DH are such amazing people. Thank you so much for doing this and sharing it with us. I love you to pieces.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Ladies, thanks for the praise, but honestly, a trained monkey could set up a PayPal and go out and buy school supplies. Except maybe Curious George, that fucking asshole.

For those of you who want to donate but are in a financially tight spot, please don't worry. There have been a couple of very generous donations with exactly that in mind. So, don't fret: You're covered.

I just talked to the colleague who coordinates these kinds of things for my company. I wanted him to let me know what still needed to be donated after the two-day drive is over. Ladies ... we have almost $500 already!! I figured that it would be better to buy stuff that is still needed rather to go out and just get random supplies. He said if I transfer the donation to our company's Foundation, the company could match the amount.

!!!

The money would be put into a separate account and earmarked for refugees.

I swear I am not an idiot... but in Paypal does EUR = Euros? (Okay, maybe I am an idiot) I am about to send some money, and I don't want to do it wrong.

Thank you

Yup!

[PatBenatar]

How awesome. Since my bank account is looking really sad right now, I will donate on Friday when I get paid.

[thedahliharpa]

That's so cool about the matching contribution! Donation sent. Thanks for your trained monkey efforts yo.

[creamsiclechica]

Oh this is such a happy thing!

You must know some outstanding and evolved primates, because I don't know that many who work for a company and can get them to donation match

[rxbeth]

Donation match?!?! Fantastic!

[kdrake8]

I'm so sorry. I just saw this. I suck.

You shut your beautiful pie hole.

We're are currently at a little over €500!! You guys can still donate through the end of next week. I'll talk to my colleague then about transferring the money to the company's foundation. If you all want to know more about the foundation itself, let me know and I'll send you a PM with the web address. 

[rxbeth]

Just sent!

[artgal84]

This is such a great thing! Your company is so supportive too!

[jenbelle]

[Dorothy Zbornak]

We're at €640. y'all!!!!

[DaphneStrauss]

Just sent. Thanks for setting this up!

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Almost at €700! Amazing! You ladies rock!!

[vthokie]

This is amazing! We're working on unit conversions in class this week, so I made my students convert from Euros to US dollars just for shits and giggles.

[Na]

Finally sent! Sorry it isn't more! Your company is wonderful and so are you

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Over €700, bitches!!!!

Yes! I'll leave it open until tomorrow, then I'm going to transfer the money to my company's foundation account.
