Katheryn is a 2 1/2 year member of Psych Central who need some extra money right now to help her out fixing her car. It broke down and repairs are going to cost approx. £300 according to the garage. Their only car is their lifeline to the world, as they live in a rural area. Even her doctor is in the next village, which makes it difficult to get to for regular appointments. Not to mention getting the kids to school, etc.

She put in a request for a Community Fund Drive to help her with fixing her car. I'll let her get into more detail if she'd like, but I believe her request is justified and appropriate, and so open it up to the community for help.

Please consider donating to our community fund to help katheryn out.

Psych Central will kick off the drive with $150. Every dollar counts, so even if you can afford just $5, please consider this request.

The easiest way to donate is to send money via PayPal to:

donations@psychcentral.com

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="donations@psychcentral.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Psych Central Community Fund Drive">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="PC-Community">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">

Community Fund Drive for katheryn
</form>
Otherwise, send your check or money order (no cash, please) to:

Liviant LLC
PO Box 5464
Bradford, MA 01835

Everyone who donates gets access to our exclusive Poohbah Forum, and our thanks for helping out another member in need in our community.

This Community Fund Drive will run for approximately one week; donations will close on Thurs., April 24, 2008.

If you cannot give at this time, please consider katheryn in your thoughts and prayers, or offer her your support here in this thread. As always, I thank you for your kind consideration and support.

Best,
DocJohn

Hope you get your car problems fixed soon. I know what a hassle a major unexpected car bill is like.

Oh I hope you do get enough for the car repairs and everything else.

Me living in a very rural area, I know all about the urgency of having your own vehicle!

Take care!

Thank you everyone who once again opened their hearts (and checkbooks!) to help support one of our fellow members!!

The community fund goal has been reached and katheryn's check has been sent to her. We hope this money is helpful to her in fixing her car and ensuring she and her family can still get around in their community.

Thanks again!! Community Fund Drive for katheryn Community Fund Drive for katheryn Community Fund Drive for katheryn
