![]() ![]() My wife has been arrested by the "March of Dimes Organization" and she needs your help! for those unfamiliar with the "March Of Dimes" the organization is a charity which... "improves the health of infants by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through research, community services, education and advocacy to save babies' lives. March of Dimes researchers, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, low birth weight." My wife's mission is to raise "bail money" for the march of dimes so she can get out of her arrest! On August 5th, my wife and several of her colleagues will be placed into a Jail Cell here in town unless they have raised their respective bail amounts. If they have not raised the allotted amount, they will remain in the cell until average joes on the street contribute and account for the remaining "bail" through on site contributions. ![]() (i shall enjoy watching her sweat it out behind bars!) her goal is $1,000 with Neal's permission, i would like to offer each of you the opportunity to contribute to the March of Dimes organization through my wife's bail site located here: http://jailandbail.marchofdimes.com/...e.asp?w=534425 if you wish to contribute you may select a pre-determined amount on the right of the web page OR you may input any amount into the "other amount" field on the right. every single dollar helps March of Dimes... and helps my wife stay out of jail! ***AS AN INCENTIVE TO SUBSIM MEMBERS***
I WILL PERSONALLY DONATE $1.00 FOR EACH OF THE FIRST 100 DONATIONS RECEIVED FROM OUR MEMBERS! simply copy and paste your receipt information into an e mail and send it to FlySealey@gmail.com and i will log your submission once the final tally is up, i will donate to subsim the full amount. (either when all 100 spots have been filled OR on the day of her "incarceration" whichever comes first) Thanks for your help! and thank you Neal & Subsim.com for your support of March of Dimes!

Id love to help but folks in my profession are quite fond of this 'project' and this is at least the 6th request Ive recieved in the last week.
Anyhow I hope she does well and gets bailed out soon.

Sorry I don't do charity. Even if I had money to give I'd probably donate it to Toady One the Developer of Dwarf Fortress.

Lets see. Watch money go down the drain as such and such charity comes back next year begging for more money. Or donate it to fusion research or technology research which will improve a great many more lives.
Sorry but I am sick of hearing the pleas of charities year after year after year with the same tired stories the same tired stuff. You save one life there is 50 lining up behind it. Nope focus on fusion and alternative energy and cheap energy to improve lives. Edit: BTW this is a sick way to raise money and the title is even sicker. Reported... |

Seriously, I'd like to know... Personally, I hope that your post and any subsequent post related to it (including this one) is deleted so that this thread can remain on the very good topic of helping your fellow man. |

Besides, if I give a child money and he survives, what is stopping him from reproducing and producing more starving children? Then my charity was all for naught and I've made things worse. Sorry if this sounds a bit heartless, but really I'm just trying to be a realist here. |
