It was not just me. I'm only part of the equation. Cookie and Deb have both put in 25 and Nex said she would when she got to her old mans comp. So in reality all I done was throw in 35 bucks which is only a portion. Than you to all who helped

wow!!!! you all are amazing!! i cant really do this site from my phone so im just catching up. i would be glad to mail a gift card to tractor supply or petco or whatever if it would help. last night i was sad, and now im smiling!!! you are amazing human beings... must be the good influence of such amazing dogs ;) last year, my hubby lost his job unexpectedly and i was venting to a random group of strangers on a mommy website. a lady joked, "crack open the wine!" and i replied that i would if i could afford it. this woman stalked my friends list and found my dear friend, who covertly devulged my info. the next day, mail order wine appeared at my door!!!! and i got some cash in paypal. it was from total strangers, totally unexpectedly, and it was so heartening to feel that i wasnt alone. i would love to pay such a kindness forward if at all possible. i will dub it the franklin fund, and if franklin doesnt need it (since the generosity thus far has been astounding, and im late to the game), i will keep franklin in mind in the future when i help another person in need. if i can help, please let me know!!!!! oh, and chuck, i lol'd at besmirch. i vow to use that word regularly now because its hilarious!!

First of all I can't even begin to tell everyone how proud I am to be a part of this forum. I can be a bit of a cynic but boy have ya'll crushed that. I have been approached by many either with a message here in this thread or by PM with offers of help with the dog food or donating towards a gift card for Kroger's. Dawn, Franklin's mom doesn't have a car and Kroger's is the closest store, still a mile away, that she can walk to. I see three different ways we can go about this:

I can provide a link to Kroger's were you can purchase a gift card and they will mail it directly to Dawn. The only drawback to this is they charge 2.51 for each individual card they send out. If we all pool our money and get one card that would mean a little more of the money can go directly to Dawn.

I can provide a link to Walmart and you can have a 40 pound bag of Franklins dog food delivered to their door for about 30 dollars and that will last him about 2 weeks.

I can collect individual donations and we can get a Kroger's gift card. I think this would be great for those of us who only have 5 or 10 dollars this month to give. Plus, as I mentioned above it would decrease the 2.51 they are charging to send each gift card. I have a paypal account. However I don't know how to receive money through it but I'm sure someone on here can talk me through it or you can send it through the mail. My only problem with this method is transparency. Remember I'm the cynic. I have been fortunate enough to help a couple of regulars on this forum and I think they would be willing to vouch for my creditability.

You can PM me or Dawn to get her address if you choose to send your own. Below is the link to Kroger's gift cards. If you want the Walmart link let me know and I will go find it.

Thank you!

PP i easy. Someone just types in your email name which is your paypal account. If they set it up as a gift PP wont charge nothing. Good chance Krogers will accept paypal. If so you just click the "pay with paypal" link. Sign in and submit. If not you will have to transfer the money to your bank. Again, you just have to click a link. Most PP are linke to your account anyways

AB I already sent a PM to you, but if you have a more practical way let me know. I will help in anyway I can. Using Paypal is easy you simply state your email for PP and we can send you the money. It will go directly to your PP account until you send it to Dawn.

A little clarity about the group gift card. Lets set a deadline of Sunday Afternoon. This does not mean that you have to have your money to me just let me know your intent. I'm going to acknowledge every one who gives, in this thread but I'm not putting the amount.

There is no wrong way, just whatever works best for you.

I sent you a PM, AB. I'm not sure if it went through because my messages are acting crazy. Let me know if you got it.

Wow.

After not having slept the night before, I passed out early last night, only to wake up to more surprises. This is unbelievable. You're probably tired of me saying it, but thank you.

Wow...Wow...Wow!

What a GREAT group of people. No wonder I was attracted to the Mastiff breed - it's a great breed of people, too!! :)

AB - PM coming from me, too.

I didn't see where the Kroger card will accept PP as payment. :( So, it appears you'll have to move $ out of paypal (I use a link to a bank account) to get it on the Kroger card.
