So happy to see the goal being hit already before I could even make it home from work to donate!

Would like to reserve the right to share the spoils with someone else in GrittyIsKing's position, should they come forward - much respect to Der Meister's gesture. I said in the board I'd be doing 200 before we even had a drive, and I am a man of my word. (Plus this actually worked out cheaper anyway - 200 Canadian here plus the 40 unrelated donation I posted in the board thread that isn't part of the drive is still cheaper than 200 American)

A man of his word is a man of class. Big ups to everyone that has donated so far, whether it's this cause, the Christmas drive or the 701 memorial, it never ceases to amaze me how awesomely generous the sim league community is. Let's keep it going everyone!

Making this donation on behalf of @PatrikLaine so he can claim the 5 TPE as well.  If I were in HS still I too wouldn't be able to donate so I felt like helping out on his behalf.  As others have said, it is a time to help each other.

Thanks for your kindness

I'm so glad to see this community of people who pretty much don't know each other well or what they look like all donate to this extremely worthy cause, and donating for people who can't. This is a great community and I am glad I joined.

Great cause, I love that we're doing this. But how's the conversion to USD gonna work if we're also giving to an american organization? The CAD is much higher than the USD

All funds will remain in Canadian $ since we officially switched to Canadian last year. If you are American and want to donate more to offset the difference in conversion, feel free. Paypal also takes a cut of the donations coming in, but we will pay out the actual donated amount (meaning we're sending more than $500 in total from the league.

I assume you mean lower?

 

The amount will drop on account of conversion sadly but we’ll give what we can.

higher, lower, you understand what i mean

 

and yeah that's unfortunate. I think a cool idea for next time we do this, is a little USA members vs Canada members competition. Whichever country donates the most to their respective organization gets a free week or something. There are more Canadians but the CAD --> USD conversion favors americans so it's something

After a discussion with the member in question in Prague discord, my donation will also be on behalf of @animal74

To be honest, while that isn’t a terrible idea, I don’t like using charitable causes as a means for competition, even friendly. At the end of the day it’s about the people who will be receiving the donations and doing good with them, and I don’t think it’d be fair to give one cause more or less based simply on their region and the regions of our members.

If I can do two - and I don't want to push it, I know I'm fortunate to be in the position I'm in at the moment - it has been brought to my attention that @BigTittySmitty is also in a less than ideal place financially. I'll throw some benefits his way from my donation as well.

Not that i think it will be an issue.  I made another donation that @BigTittySmitty can claim off just in case.
