It's in my bank account now to finish covering the check I wrote to the utility company yesterday to keep my power on. Lucky it's city-owned so I could get an extension this long. Sincere thanks again 500 good dogs

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

So far $830 has been disbursed to cover 4.5 requests from goons.

We have had 7 people donate or sign up to be personal donors during this time.

We have one request that has been half fulfilled. (At work so I have not checked requests this morning that are pending)

Thank you to speng for keeping track of all of that.

If anyone who has used the form has any suggestions on changes, please feel free to post it here or pm one of the committee members. We have made some changes already based on what we've experienced. As well, to reiterate what speng said - we are only keeping track of money donated and usernames. We are not keeping any other personal info submitted to us.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

From the UKMTSF unfortunately we can't offer aid outside of our lovely little trash island, there's just too many what if's and unknowns about moving money overseas for us to want to open that up.

Seriously, we had a large request yesterday we were worried about meeting but thanks to so many new donors we were able to meet it while still leaving us some room for more requests until we can file (we are being foiled by a states requirement to file incorporation by paper right now).

i know there's ongoing drama but id really rather not start this sort of thing here. there's no desire or need to scrutinize people's opinions of how this is run or managed. all id ask is for people to present concerns in good faith and treat others with the sort of courtesy one should get in a charity thread.

Also I, personally, would rather we give too much to people that don't need it than not give enough to people who need it. I cannot speak to the other committee members opinion on this, but that's mine.

That + the initial donations have been large, and the one large request drives up the average as well since there's not been a lot of requests yet. Im hoping after the filing-dependent charity web service stuff is up that itll be easier to both make small dollar donations and for people to feel comfortable making small requests.
