Jer:

I tried to go through Paypal with my bankcard and they said I would have to wait 6 months to be signed up because it is a bankcard.(?)

Do you have a mailing address for donations? I don't want to wait 6 months.

Hi Jer,
Just wanted to know how the collection was going? I hope all will participate to help the families of the fallen and the injured.

well Booklady, it is going much slower than i had expected, we have only had donations from 5 members but i have hope that it will pick up

every few days i update the total donated at www.multimadrid.com/11marzo so you can keep an eye on the totals there.

hey dboz, wow!!! 6 months!!! never heard of paypal doing that do you have a credit card to use?

if not...

OTHER WAYS TO DONATE (aside from doing so with a credit card at www.multimadrid.com/11marzo ):

1) check made out to me (jeremy reines) and sent to my office:

3) direct deposit or bank transfer into my bank account via any branch of "La Caixa".

complete bank & account code: 2100-1579-86-0100200580

FOR INTERNATIONAL BANK WIRES: use the following code at your bank to transfer funds...

"ES75 2100-1579-86-0100200580"

the "ES75" is the IBAN (International Banking Code) and the "2100-1579-86-0100200580" is the bank and account code.

hopefully more donations will roll in with these new ways to donate

saludos,
jer...

p.d. if you use option 3) direct deposit or bank transfer", please make sure you indicate (at the bank) when sending the money that it is for the victims of 11-M.

Thats a pretty good total though, jer, from just 5 donations isn�t it.

yes sue, i never said the amount was low, i just said not too many members had donated.

imagine if all 1,800+ members gave

saludos,
jer...

Wow, that would be great wouldn�t it!!! Now that members can see they don�t have to battle with Paypal the donations will come flooding in!

wow!!! i am floored!!! i just received a 150� donation from someone, more than doubling our total and bringing it up to 285�

KEEP IT ROLLING IN!!!

saludos,
jer...

Hey jer ... that�s awesome!!! Every little bit helps! Have you decided on who/where you are donating the money yet?

We are taking up a collection through the women�s dining group that a couple of us ladies organize, and are going through the process of selecting a recipient of collected funds now. If you have any suggestions, let me know!!

hey Chica, i am not sure.

you see, on another thread "payno" was wise in observing and writing that the victims will get plenty of financial help from the govt. so i am trying to think of another way to honor the victims.

he suggested we honor the visctimsa in another, more original way.

i thought maybe we could keep a mm fund going and every 11th of March me and a few mm volunteers could go buy as many candles as victims there end up being when all is said and done (deaths that is). we would then take the lot of candles down to atocha station and place and light them there with a sign.

what does everyone think?

other suggestions are very welcome.

saludos,
jer...

well gang, been nearly a year now.

as many of you know, we have 285 euros that we collected via multimadrid and i thought it would be nice to go to atocha station on march 11th (that's a friday) and light and place one candle for each of the march 11, 04 bombing victims.

i am going to buy the candles and can also get them to atocha with my handtruck but would like a few (4 besides myself would be great) volunteers to help me light and place them there.

i think it only appropriate that the multimadriders do this as we all lived that day together.

volunteers can be anyone, not necessarily those who donated to the fund. the 4 people can either live here or just be visiting, it does not matter.

i would like 4 people to meet me at atocha at 8am (symbolically around the time of the bombing) so we can do this.

please post here and/or e-mail me at jeremy@multimadrid.com ONLY if you are sure you can help.

saludos,
jer...
