Her Very Own Shower
Hello Everyone who loves Akeeyu. Boulder here.
I think it is time for another shower hosted on my site. This time, however, we'll focus on what will really help Akeeyu, Sam, Fitz-Hume and Millbarge via a paypal button instead of a mountain of packages in her garage. (Though, seriously? Best photo ever. It still makes me cry to see that.)
I chatted with Akeeyu many nights on her 90+ days of bedrest, and as funny as it sounds, she really helped me more than I feel I ever helped her. This will be my way of giving back. Once things have settled down a bit in her life, I'll be happy to help her set up her own paypal button.
If you would like to help, please know that if funds are tight for your family that a link to this post letting other people know will also help tremendously.
Let me go on record here that I fully apologize if you came here looking for news and an update from my little world. I'd like to offer you an olive branch, and say that I will update you all here once I've given everyone a chance to see this posting for Akeeyu.
Thank you for your kinds thoughts for Akeeyu, Sam, Millbarge & Fitz-Hume.

What a great idea! And I get to be the first. Hooray.
I always love seeing a post here, whether it's an update or something else. Now, don't be a tease.

Thanks so much for doing this, Boulder.
Maybe I'm the only one dumb enough not to know this, but in case not, to donate with Paypal through the site, first put the amount you want to donate and THEN log in to your paypal account...

Alex is correct - and she isn't the only one who has ever had trouble with that. Ahem....

LOL, thanks, Boulder. Good to know I'm not alone. One of the wonderful things about the internet (knowing I'm not alone).

I will tell my mom, she is one of Akeeyu's biggest fans. Thanks for doing something Boulder. I've lurked at HerVeryOwn forever but never connected.

Thanks, Boulder!
And Alex, I should have read the comments before I tried to donate, because let's just say I'd hate to think your advice was only useful to dumb people.

Slim,
LOL, er, no offense intended. Maybe my comment should have read, "un-internet-savvy people?" or, to put this is a more positive light, "non-nerds?" Not that I have anything against nerds! Hey, I'm an aspiring nerd myself! But more aspiring than nerd, sadly.

Is there anyway I can donate $$ or anything without using Paypal? I tried to set up an account once and failed spectactularly at it. But I'd love to give *something*. Let me know - either send me an email or post. thanks!

One of the worst holiday seasons of my life was made significantly brighter by some of Akeeyu's homemade cookies.
I'm honored to donate. Thanks so much for doing this.
