I made a donation recently to cover my whole year. It was nice to get a personal acknowledgment from Nicolette.

Well done everyone. :D:D:D I must admit I was worried about post Christmas when most have to tighten their purses. To achieve our goal to keep the forum online for 2016 is fantastic.

Anything you donate is solely used for the purpose of keeping this resource online for you all and any excess will be re-invested into making the forum the best it can be (added to next year or discussed as a community to possibly cover another forum cost if required - that's Anthony's domain so I'll leave it to him). Just remember that our donation goal is only for the server costs of keeping the site online and there are many other expenses especially when it comes to software upgrades etc.

What I do want to remind you is, if you are in a position to still donate, it will be put to good use so please don't let the fact that we've achieved a target stopping us from going beyond. Next year might be different financially for those who have donated so I encourage giving while you can.

Ideally I'd love to see some donations from new members instead of the forum being held up and supported by the same members. Remember each $1 counts and is appreciated. There is no embarrassment for a donation of $1; it's gratefully received. If every active member donated $1 once a year, we would easily cover the forum costs and if you put it into perspective of the value you get from here and ONE counselling session which costs in excess of $70 (subsidised) - well, I don't really have to spell it out do I?!

Thank you again to those who have donated. I am personally more than grateful as I used to watch Anthony stress every month spending hours on marketing, just trying to cover the server costs. What you have done has freed him up to work on the site instead of coming up with funding ideas. The outcome for the community is much better if Anthony can focus on the forum's operation! I also have a less stressed husband and for those of you who have PTSD, you know how much of an impact reduced stress has on your overall health ;).

Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Blessings and Happy New Year to All! :)
