If anybody wants to give to help out here and you need their address, I have their permission to give it to you via PM.

Why? It's already been taken care of. Did you see the other thread?
The point of the Admin post was that any solicitations needed to be done in private. We are being very careful as to not make this a place where "fundraising" becomes a norm. No problem letting a need be known, and ILG has presented the idea of helping them. But from this point it needs to be done off the open forum.
Hopefully you understand that it is nothing personal, but if we open the door for one, we have to open the door for all, and it could cause us to be overrun with legitimate plea's for help.

I understand, but with the amount of active posters here, that could take someone a long time a thread asking people to PM her for their addy takes less time, and there is no discussion about it.
I also understand what you are saying as well. I don't believe it would lead to being overrun, however. Money issues have been discussed before without others taking it for granted. I don't see that it's any different from someone having it in their sig line at all times.
But again, I totally understand your concern, and this is your baby.

Okay, I think most everybody knows they can PM me at this point.
