I wonder how many will?

Will you?

Would gladly make CASH payments on a regular basis, but Credit Card? And monthly Credit Card debits? Why would I want to go into debt to help someone when I could do it without going(further)into debt?JPFO made a similiar appeal to me last year, and I set up a bill pay on computer with my bank, for a small amount monthly, and have faithfully done same ever since. So, hows' about an address I could send a monthy amount to via bill pay. I would really like to help.

Sean, I forwarded your comment to them. I suspect they may not have the staff to be in the business of processing checks for this, but perhaps if more people contact them...

Most creditors allow multiple payments per month. If you charge and pay inside the pay period, you won't be charged interest. All credit cards are essentially zero interest if the full balance is paid during the pay period.

My problem is with the security of the transaction, since my account information is retained. I'm currently disputing a fraudulent charge on another card. I'm not worried so much about the card I used, however, because my account number changes on a regular basis... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it; Go-eMerchant should be aware of this practice.

I thought about the problems inherent in the donation process, but I came to the same conclusion as David: someone has to handle all the checks or money orders. I'd want the money to be in a checking account as soon as possible, not delayed by the logistics of processing an overwhelming amount of paper.

I hope I will be able to meet the remaining 29 payments at the top donation level. I had a sudden change of financial circumstances immediately following my divorce; I know what it feels like to stay awake at night hoping that I would not lose my home. I've turned down the thermostat to 50 degrees in the winter so I could stretch the oil long enough to afford the next delivery; had to plead with the utility company to keep the power on just one more day; dumped everything and anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. I'm sure all of you have gone through a time in your life like this -- or worse, if you were also taking care of children.

I hope that there are at least one-hundred other donors so the Olofsons do not have to make these types of choices, or face much worse hardship.
