PureLove, I'm excited and happy as well about this positive development as well as I understand and share your enthusiasm but...let's take one step at the time. Remember, Rome wasn't built in one day either. This whole new turn needs to be looked into, worked out and a plan has to be created. If we just rush into things the chance of not succeeding is big, and that's something we wouldn't want. Failing or a messy action would harm the initiative. We can only start this once, so I strongly suggest we first create a solid foundation to start from.I want to add that if someone wants to take the initiative to run a website for all this, I am fully prepared to design a website for it, at no costs of course. If desired, I will provide a fully functioning website, but the initiator will have to take care of the updates him/herself.
I want to make a change! 'Silence' for me so far meant mulling things over and busy! It's right that we should actually start DOING something as a group, so thank you to PureLove for starting the ball rolling and to everyone else who's given suggestions so far.I agree with Souza that we need to think this through and be clear of our intentions. I'll be honest and say that I'm unsure if our ideas so far point to our aim being to reach the masses re Michael in some way, or whether we are simply coming together as a group to start making charitable donations. Or maybe it's both! Having discussions here and on the TIAI 11/3 and 11/4 threads isn't necessarily helpful to time pushed members! Could we look at keeping all the discussions in one place? (Please!)Personally, I think we should start simply - if we try too much at once things will be watered down as there's only so much that any of us can do, both in terms of money and time.I favour choosing just one or two charities that we all agree on, to start with, until we see how it works out, and donating as per Badkolo's suggestion. I'd personally just want to look into Escrow first, to be happy that this would be a safe way for the donations to be handled, as I know nothing about it. Badkolo, or anyone, have you any experience of using it already?One more thing (for now!), I don't like the idea of having names on a 'donation list' - that's akin to naming and shaming those who aren't participating, or naming and praising those who are. I would personally prefer to do this quietly and anonymously.Love you all! xx
Looks like this thread died on Nov 7! I just now got around to reading up in this section and making my own posts. I'm not sure if I was suppose to start a new thread about the site I wanted to support or if it is suppose to be put in this list or??? Anyhow I vote for You are not allowed to view links.
