HELP FOR YORKIEGIRL

As suggested, I have started a new thread for the above

This has gone on MumsOnline from Sabian

I've changed the donation page to only go to Anna... The reason I did this is because of the IPN (instant payment notification) of Paypal will report back to the donation page meaning that any/all monies will be listed as a running total to keep this as transparent as possible.

I regret that I'm not the best with wording at the best of times so if you feel that the text on the page isn't appropriate or if you'd like it to say something else, please PM me and I'll change it.

To get to the donation, please go here:
www.mumsonline.net/forums/donate.php

Again, this is set for [email protected] and all monies donated will be reported back so that there'd be a 'running' total as it were. As far as those who donated, we'd only be aware of who you are because of the Paypal details but there'll be no mention on here (by us, you are welcome to say that you donated if you want to) and nothing will 'flag' in your account to say that you have donated.

If there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via pm or email... I'm going out for a few hours today so I'm going to pm Tilly my mobile incase something needs to be done urgently.

EDIT:
I just wanted to add that if you are uncomfortable with using Paypal to make a donation, I'm sure someone who is closer to YG may be able to take cheques/postal orders or something... That would have to be set up by that person. You do not have to have a Paypal account to make a donation though, only a credit card or debit card, so don't let not having an account prevent you from helping!

This is what has been posted on MO to make a collection for Anna. I really feel that at the moment, it will just be cash that she needs, in terms of practical support.

If you want to send a card, please email me for Anna's address lisa(at) rangey (dot) demon (dot) co (dot) uk

Pixie has told her friends on scrapbooking sites so for now, I think there is little more we can do

thank you everyone for this, I know it will be of trememdous support to her

Hulababy i emailed mumsnet & asked them if they could put a link on the homepage & i have said it was your fab idea, Justine has emailed back saying fab idea & she is going to do it, look out for it & maybe start a thread with the new link saying its on the homepage?

mummydear · 10/08/2006 19:15

Done, so very very easy to do.

I don't know Yorkiegirl but I hope it goes someway to helping her in this difficult time.

ScummyMummy · 10/08/2006 19:17

bump

hulababy · 10/08/2006 19:18

Thanks for that. I contacted them too, but not been at computer for a little bit.

purpleturtle · 10/08/2006 19:20

Hula - have you let katz know, or shall I text? Feel she'd want to know.

hulababy · 10/08/2006 19:22

I phoned Katz this morning to let her know.

purpleturtle · 10/08/2006 19:25

Cool. thought you might have - and I only just came online.

hulababy · 10/08/2006 19:27

Link to here is now on the home page too. So hopefully everyone who wants to contribute can see it wherever they start from.

Think we should still bumb this thread too though as some come directly to Active or Talk.

muma3 · 10/08/2006 19:33

swedishmum · 10/08/2006 19:38

Thank you for the link. I have donated.

aprilmeadow · 10/08/2006 19:54

I dont think that i have spoken to YorkieGirl, but wanted to help none the less.

tribpot · 10/08/2006 19:54

Thanks for setting this up - so good to be able to do something practical to help, however small

What an absolutely horrible, horrible thing to happen

tillykins · 10/08/2006 20:01

thank you so much for the donations, which now stand at £850
I have had so many emails as well, for Anna's address for people to send a card
I know that nothing can take away the pain of her loss but this sympathy and support will be so appreciated by her

rosaparks · 10/08/2006 20:07

Thanks to Tilly, Fabian and Pie for setting this up. I've sent YG a card, but it's good to be able to contribute to something bigger as well.
And fantastic that this is a joint MO/mumsnet thing.
Thanks all.
Roisin

hulababy · 10/08/2006 20:24

Donations now stand at an astounding £895. Yorkie's online friends from MN, MO and her scrapbooking sites truely are wonderful!
