First off I hope this is ok with dbeck, if not please let me know. Not many of you know, except for Hightower and BigWaynester, but my girlfriend of 6 years, who I lived with for the past 5 years, passed away a little over a month ago on October 11th. It was completely out of the blue and the cause was blood clots in both lungs. Her birthday is November 26th and she would have been 26 years old. For her birthday I am taking donations in her name for the Portage Animal Protective League, they are a great organization and help all kinds of animals: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH110.html

She loved animals and was seeking information on becoming a foster home while the shelters found a more permanent home. Donating for this cause would have made her very proud. I know that it is the holiday season and nothing is expected, but if you can spare a dollar or two, every little bit helps. I also know that donating to a paypal address is sometimes suspect, so feel free to check us out on either www.silverlakesandduners.com or www.ohiomafiariders.com , our user names were JMann2380 and Ruby_Girl. I am also sure Hightower and BigWayne will vouch, they both had the pleasure of meeting Desiree at East Coast DS Days.

Donations through Paypal can be sent to: memoryofdesiree@gmail.com

Donations can be mailed to:
Joshua Manley
c/o Animal Protective League (make the check out to this)
3023 Brady Lake Rd.
Ravenna, OH 44266

Also please check out these pictures of her, she also rode a DS! Thanks, Josh

Im truley sorry for your loss. God bless

 

Hell of a noble idea JMann, good luck and God Bless.
Happy Birthday Desiree!

 

Thanks for the kind words.

My boss just gave me a check for $100, so we are up to $350.49 with 11 people donating. I hope we can at least clear $500. I am also thinking about doing a charity auction on ebay with her laptop and that would put us close to $1000. I think Des and the Portage Animal Protective League would be estatic.

 

This sounds like a great idea.

Keep us updated.

 

bump... her birthday is Sunday and we are closing in on $500.

 

$1070.50 has been donated from 24 people and there are still checks in the mail. I am guessing we will be over $1200. This is just amazing and very generous this close to Christmas. Thank you everone for the kind words.
