@veganostomy That's awesome Eric! I always struggle with getting my son to help me with computer... well... anything! Lol! As  young/old Dad, haha, he struggles for time between the step teens & the baby who is now a very busy trying to talk toddler of age TWO already!!  While I struggle with post concussion memory issues & some vision issues on these things, we are not a great team on anything computer except when I cornered him to set me up with a direct link to here! lolol! 

So, will this lovely yellow bar take us right to where we need to be to donate? I hope it will make a difference for you as I know you are always updating & spending so much of your personal time helping others here.   My son works at The Source so I'm aware of the expense of keeping equipment up & running & up to date for your videos & such.  I am still impressed each time I watch a video you've taken time to make, trying new products & keeping us in the loop with little rest for yourself & sacrificing family time also to accomplish what you have here!!   Way to go Eric and I feel I personally can never Thank YOU Enough for starting up this site & for  sharing your story & keeping things  running smoothly as possible here all the time.   You've kept many of us on our emotional & physical feet by providing such a fantastic service!! So... Thank You Again!! I know every penny can help no matter the amount.

Folks Tony has hit the nail on the head. I would say this forum/is the most important and useful place for any ostomate new or old. Probably the best thing in the ostomy world since the ostomy bag!!!! And I ain’t kidding. The time work and effort is MUCH appreciated 👍🙏 Really owe ye a big slap on the back!!

Yes, it should bring you directly to a PayPal donation page, the "tip jar", as I call it.

A friendly reminder that while I work on the site over the next few weeks, the buttons may change in appearance or location, but I'll try not to shuffle things too much.😄

@veganostomy 

Eric, You told me why you haven’t registered as an official non-profit, but it would be cool if you did. Facebook just prompted me to set up a birthday donation where my friends can donate to a non-profit. I’ll probably do it for UOAA, but I would rather set it up for you to get the donations. 😕 Plus if you were a non-profit, I could have my United Way donations sent to you too. I guess I’ll have to keep shopping Amazon. 🤣

@squeakyandliza Non-profits do need all the donations they can get. It's a highly competitive "industry" and I prefer be independent and free of any limitations that a non-profit status creates. 

That said, I'm continually humbled by the support I get, however it gets to me 😊
