CLOSED: Accepting Donations for Wendy... Raised $2200! - 08-07-2006, 12:16 PM




Wendy, a fellow TPF family member/moderator and her two children were involved in a serious car accident July 31st. Her two children were released from the hospital the same night but Wendy was Lifeflighted to Hermann Hospital and is still there receiving treatment for her injuries. The last I heard from her is that her Doctor says she will continue to be in the hospital for at least another 2-3 more weeks for treatment. Thread can be found here.

A couple of our members suggested that we get a fundraiser together for her during this tough time. She will be out of work (full time photographer) for at least month so I am sure anything we can do to help her and her family during this time would be greatly appreciated by all!

So with that being said, I will be collecting funds for her over the next couple of weeks to help her offset her lost time. I know she will say it is not necessary but we have all come to a point were we are family here on the forum so for us to step up and help her out in any way we can is the least we can do.

CLOSED: Raised $2200!

--------How To Donate--------

I don't use Paypal but noticed a credit card option. Is this a viable option for the donation?
Or can send a check/money order direct to you if that works better... Please advise and Thanks!

Abel, Is your snail mail still the one at your office? If so, I will have my donation in the mail as soon as I hear from you. If not, please send updated address.

Thanks for organizing this.

Couldn't send alot, but I wanted to help. I can't get her out of my mind. Too close to home, could be any of us.
