    Eric,
    I doubt you remember me, but we met a few years ago. I don’t know how much good it will do, but I would like to help get donations for Colin. This may seem lame, but facebook offers a way to have people donate to your favorite charity for your birthday. My birthday is coming up on October 5. Facebook sent me a message refering to the aplication for donations. The thing is the charity must already be set up through facebook in order for it to accept donations. Let me know if you plan on doing anything through facebook. Thanks a lot and take care.

    I’ll look into it today. Come back here and I’ll tell you what I find. I suspect because we’re unofficial (we don’t have a non-profit tax id) we may not be able to do it. But I’ll find out in about 10 minutes.

    I checked it out Berk. In order to create a cause on facebook for Colin we’d have to have proper governtment paperwork and would have to submit a review of financial statements proving we collect over a million dollars a year.

    Which, if Colin had a million dollars I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be asking for donations hahaha.

    Anyways, I appreciate the thought and the direction. I never stop looking for new ideas.
