Finally able to pitch in. Tax refund came in this morning and since I've been working, I'm not behind on bills. My refund is actually extra money this year. I'm a working man with a girlfriend who works as many hrs a week as she's able while also going to school full-time and interning more hrs than she works for pay. We have a daughter who turned four a month ago and my ol' lady has a 12 year old son from a previous relationship. Anyway, at this point in our life together, we've been thru some shit. Had a pretty good job a few years ago and lost it. Bought a pretty nice car (to us anyway), and it broke down in November. Moved into a much nicer apt last July, and rent went up almost $200/month for the pleasure.
I'm not sharing to get pity, or to make excuses why I haven't carried my own weight. I shared to let folks know that despite my family struggles over the past few years, every time I catch a break, I try to remember BP. Our money is needed. Badly. I can't think of a better place to give. Or a more deserving one.
Thanks, Will and Jo. Without you guys, and BP, I'd still be alive, surely. I'd probably be just fine. But I know without a doubt I wouldn't have a home online that's full of a group of assholes that I'm proud to call friends.
If you're able to give a little....even ten damn dollars...and haven't....why not? I'm not being confrontational. I honestly don't know why someone that gets a kick out of reading, posting, downloading torrents, swiping tsun memes to email asshole co-workers etc, wouldn't toss a little coin in the collection plate.
If I can, most everyone else sure as shit can as well.
Please do.
