I started off the New Year with a donation to Afibbers.org.

I wanted to let people know (or remind veterans) that Afibbers.org is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. It is wholly supported through donations. I've just made one. The donation button is located on the upper right hand side of the main, not Phorum page here. On a phone, click the "hamburger" (three horizontal lines) menu in the upper left to get to the donate menu.

This is a direct link that Carey has shared previously. This is through PayPal, so even people not in the US can contribute. My understanding is that PayPal covers the costs, so 100% of your donation goes to Afibbers.org.

It is certainly not required, but I feel it is a good way to help Shannon & Carey defray the costs of hosting the site for those who have benefitted, whether as a poster or a lurker. I certainly have benefited from the site and Shannon & Carey have quiet hearts, so this is a labor of love for them.

Thank you, George!

We depend 100% on donations to cover our operating costs which, like everything else, have gone up substantially lately and donations are typically rather slow during the holidays so we're running on fumes. Any contributions you make will directly help us keep this forum and the main site up and running.

Happy Holidays and a New Year to all!

Carey & Shannon

Hmmm... I'll have to look into that. It was our understanding that donations could be processed from any country where paypal operates. Thanks for trying and thanks for the info.

Happily done

Thank you, Yuxi!

Done. And thanks for running the show.

Strange, works from Australia Leftover from your control freak previous PM?

Done! This site has been a God send over the years. Thank you!! Barb

I just donated but the PayPal receipt I got said it is not an official donation receipt for tax purposes. Do you you guys send an official donation receipt?

Travis

We certainly will in the exceedingly unlikely event that the IRS even looks at it, much less challenges it, which I can't see them doing. But sending them automatically would be a huge job and it would require us to ask for and store private information, which is something we'd rather avoid. If anyone wants a receipt just PM me.

Glad you answered that question. I had a member approach me privately about a receipt. I've pointed them to your response.

Hello All,
My last ablation was with Natale in Austin March 1 2016, with Shannon by my side.

My brother just died from congestive heart failure, he had AFIB and arteriosclerosis with 5 stents but refused to ackledge anything.

I made a nice donation for the New Year and now my Boss wants to now if we prefer flowers or a donation to a cause that matters to me.

Coming your way Shannon my friend.

McHale

Donated--thanks to everyone and particularly to Shannon and Carey for all that you do for us all. This is such an important, even sometimes lifesaving resource, what would we do without it? And however did Afib patients ever learn what was what before the internet? Me thinks that some died younger.

I attempted to donate via PayPal, but the site won't let me donate to a US society/site. Do I have to use a credit card? Any tips, runarounds..?

You're in Canada, right? If so, you shouldn't be having any problems. We know PayPal has issues with New Zealand, but not Canada.

Can you make a one time donation with a Visa card???

I believe so, at this link.

I've just donated to Afibbers.org. I greatly appreciate what Carey and Shannon do to support our community.

..., so this is a labor of love for them.

It's certainly close to the heart for me. [poker face, tongue making cheek bulge a wee bit]
