Thank you for the encouraging feedback. <br /><br />Like you mentioned, it&#39;s EXTREMELY difficult asking for help. Particularly so because I have this nagging sense of guilt, knowing that I want money to go to a slew of really dire causes that I care about. <br /><br />In many ways, it feels selfish - but, if I turn my brain around, I can try to recognize how irrational that is and just, well, make myself ask for help. ;]<br /><br />I will look into this button thing... once I succeed at turning my irrational brain around, that is.<br /><br />You&#39;re the best, Jess.VeganBattleBothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11789518319932340646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5520981994457815123.post-12830333424565721232010-01-28T07:26:09.511-08:002010-01-28T07:26:09.511-08:00DUDE. It CAN and will happen for you, sooner than later since you really want it to. <br /><br />A little over a year ago I put a button up on my blog and asked for help from the blogesphere, we also threw a fund raising party to help out. The button and the party resulted in 83% of the cost of surgery. The wife and I paid for the remaining 17% and the travel (which believe me WAS NOT EASY at all but somehow it worked out). Oh... 47% of that 83% came from people online that saw my button and wanted to help. Many of them were people I had never met and may never meet. <br /><br />My point is that there are creative ways to get the money for the surgery. Asking for help was very difficult for me, but it was either that or continue along the depressing road I was on. It was eating at me.<br /><br />If you do set up a button, I pledge to be first to donate something and will help drive traffic your way.<br /><br />How sad about Reimer. :(Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10008082202091567251noreply@blogger.com
