Who needs a donor star? I can give two of them.
Someone donated for me last year and true to my word, I donated and gave a star to someone else when I was able to. Now I'd like to give back a little more, as DU and DU'ers have been good to me.
No essays needed, no strings attached, just if you're ever able to, pay it forward to someone else please.

The first two to respond needing a star gets them.

PEACE!

Ghost

7. ME! ME! ME!
What a very lovely thing to do! I would be eternally grateful if you or anyone else could donate a star on my behalf. And in keeping with tradition, when I drag myself out of my current finacial mess I'd return to favor to someone else in need.

Bless you for being so thoughtful!

40. Wooooooooooot!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! My first star! Thanks a million trillion to whoever it was that donated for me! DUers are the best!

Damn me, I could weep I'm so touched. And right now I'm going to go mark my calendar for the next fund drive so I won't forget to return the love to someone else in need then... by then I should be on a better financial footing.

Oh, this is so exciting!

:loveya: :hug: :grouphug:

8. Neat thread-someone gave me one last year and I would like to return the favor
Edited on Thu May-24-07 11:23 PM by nam78_two
PM me if you need a star :).

Edit: I meant someone who needs a star-not necessarily the person who gave me one (unless they need one) . I have no idea who that was and I am still grateful for the nice gesture and back then I was a poorer grad student.

17. Same with me...
My donor chose to remain anonymous, and that's cool, I can respect that. I'm just leery about donating anonymously to someone because I'm not sure if there is a reason they can't donate, i.e. because of their job, who they are, etc. etc.... so I'd rather give it to someone who expresses a desire for one, but can't afford it.

It feels good to give back, even if it's just a little bit.

35. I was wondering about that myself
But I was refreshing while I was on paypal. So I think we didn't get the same person. I saw them get a streamer right after I was done. Anyway no harm no foul really. Great idea ghost :toast:.

I depend on DU for all my reliable news and information. If something is bullsh*t, DU'ers will call you on it fast. I love it here, even though I get frustrated at times and have probably pissed more than few off, but that just makes me feel more at home.

I've never known it to be a requirement to be a donor to post in certain forums, but I could be wrong. Hang in there, we'll help you out. DU is a wonderful place like that.

PEACE!
