[font color="red"]Update: I now have 127 hearts! I'm at my limit! I'll make the same donation $250 to TWO DUers! [/font]I've made both donations to the recipients of my choice.
I don't know either of them, nor do I expect anything in return.
If they wish to acknowledge the donations, that's entirely up to them.
My decisions were based on (My perception of the) need and immediacy of the issue.
I'm generally loathe to make decisions of who's worthy and who isn't, but I went with my gut.
Thank you all for helping me spend way too much money, today.
Now, if you you weren't able to give hearts to me and you have dollars to spare (even if it's just one!), Please consider donating to the DU'ers in OneGrassRoot's thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2370544
While I don't need the hearts (I post so little, I'd barely see them), I'll offer this:
For every heart I receive as a result of this thread, I will donate $2 to one of the DUers in the Wishadoo! thread from Valentines Day.
I don't post here much but I have donated a bit. I have more to give as a result of a long run of bad/good luck.
I was impressed at the donations for our "unnamed, but popular" DUer, but there are others not as popular, who also need help.
Impress me again... Give me hearts and I'll add that to what I've already donated to those in need through Wishadoo.
Put a dent in my wallet, please...

*Note: I'm not affiliated with OneGrassRoot or Wishadoo!, nor was this requested or approved by same.
I just want to make your donation to DU also help those who need more than hearts.
I'll go back to lurking and see what happens with this thread.

(885 posts)24 Hearts = $48 to a needy DUer.
I know there are more out there... If you're already out, give it a kick.
I gave away all my hearts but if I had one left you'd get it. Great idea. Good cause.
I hope you end up with at least 100 hearts.

(885 posts)If I make it to 50 hearts, I'll make the same donation to TWO DUers in that list.

(885 posts)I do have a limit, but we're not there yet...
Doubling up on DUers gets us there faster, but we still have a good way to go.

(885 posts)I'm really no one special or important. I've been fortunate enough to have a family that planned in advance when I did not.
I have no idea whether I'll post more, as I'm really a loner, and I'm not really sure my contributions will have much weight.
I'd like to add more than the occasional "LOL".
If I see someplace I can add to the conversation, I'll make an effort to be "social"

(885 posts)Update: I now have 110Hearts! I have to limit it at 125 as that's my limit for today. But I'll make those donations tonight after I make that many hearts. Help me give away $500 and get me there...

(4,460 posts)when I saw the thread. I realized that by buying a few more, it was like donating $2 to people in need, and $1 to my beloved DU. So I think that puts you over the top.
Thank you for doing this.

Thank you all for helping me spend money.
