Hi folks,
It's been awhile since our last community fund drive. We've also given out a grant or two since that time, as sometimes we don't need to run a fund drive in order to help keep the grant coffers filled. Many of you know long-time member ariesmars. They need some help with emergency expenses that have come up unexpectedly. They are on a fixed income so meeting those expenses is impossible to do without a little bit of help from us. This member has submitted an application -- which has been reviewed and approved -- for a Community Connection Grant from our nonprofit, the Psych Central Community Connection. I'm asking you to please consider donating to this Community Fund Drive. I know that a financial contribution may not be possible, so if that's the case, please leave your prayers and thoughts privately or in this thread. Psych Central will match dollar for dollar of every dollar donated (up to the maximum of $250; $500 total to the member). Every dollar counts, so even if you can afford just $5, please consider this request. Donations can be made through PayPal (using your credit card or bank account) to us at: DONATE today to the Psych Central Community Connection Otherwise, send your check or money order (no cash, please) to: Psych Central Community Connection 55 Pleasant St., Suite 207 Newburyport, MA 01950 Everyone who donates gets access to our exclusive Poohbah Forum, and our thanks for helping out another member in need in our community. In addition, donations are tax deductible as allowable by law, as the Psych Central Community Connection is a recognized 501(c)3 public charity. This Community Fund Drive will run for approximately one and a half weeks; donations will close on Monday, December 30, 2019. As always, I thank you for your kind consideration and support. Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to all! Best, John __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

@DocJohn
I am assuming the timetable is set due to their need? I have .79 cents in the bank. I get my disability check on 1-3-2020. On that day, I am happy to donate. I cannot before. __________________ "Love you. Take care of you. Be true to you. You are the only you, you will ever know the best. Reach for YOUR stars.

Back in 2017 I was awarded the community grant from PC and it was the difference between being evicted and not. Thanks to that grant, it was a stop gap until my SSDI kicked back in, then from there I started my own business, and I am doing incredibly well financially. I cannot imagine what would have happened without the support of this community. I am making a donation now, and I hope it helps @ariesmars.

Unfortunately, in my current situation, I barely get by. I often run with less than $20 in my personal account for more than a week at a time, which makes buying food interesting. I am just not in a position to contribute--so very sorry. Sending prayers and hope for a successful drive!

I donated what I could afford, hope it helps. I know what it's like to be at the end of your rope financially. I hope things improve for you soon.

@ariesmars I too received the community grant here when I was on the verge of eviction and it really helped. I'm glad you're able to receive it too. I wish I could donate but I can't. So, I can offer you hope and faith that you make it through this difficult time financially.

Thank you so much for helping out! I have meet some special friends on this site as well. I may never meet anyone in real life, but knowing they are real and write to me does help me mentally.
