Please Help Debra Help Us

QUESTION:

I would like to comment on Debra's newsletter last week. She wrote the following.

"Also this week, a reader wrote to me and said, "Thank you for everything you do! I am sure all this costs you much money and I am one of those that has truly come to depend on your advice. Where can I donate?" Yes, maintaining this website and newsletter does cost me much money. Especially now with all the expenses of transferring my website to a more workable structure. If you have benefitted from my work and would like to make a contribution toward expenses, you may do so here: donate via credit card or paypal."

I first found out that I had MCS in 1993, two different Doctors told me that I would just have to live with it and stay away from anything that bothered me. It took me a couple of years but got to the point I could lead a "normal" live again as long as I was careful. In July of 08 I had a major exposure to an Oil Wood House Stain and crashed to the point I was finding that there were products that I had used all my life that I could no longer use. Although I was great about being fragrance free I needed to find more chemical free products. It was so bad that I finally Googled "Cure for MCS" this last spring and found Debra's site. After reading her site for a while I decided that I need to start making MORE changes.

Because of the financial climate and most everything that is "good" for us cost more, money is tight for most of us. I for one live on a fix income. But on the other hand I know that I save money using Debra's site. I have bought so many products just to "try" and end up giving or throwing them away. Now I just go to Debra's site. This is saving me money!

Debra at this point does not charge for her e-mail advise and I would like to see it stay that way. How many of us would have paid to look at her site. What she does cost her money. Years ago I wrote a book on our family history. When I started it I had no idea how much money this was going to cost me. Travel, Stamps (before e-mail), copying, postage, phone bills, etc etc. I at one time starting keeping track of what it was costing me to do this "hobby" and I had to stop keeping track or would have quit.

Stop and think how Debra has helped you and maybe you can help even if it is just a little. If all of us helped even a"little" it might help cover her expenses.

I don't know Debra persinally and she did not ask me to write this. I am very thankful that I found her site. On top of all the help I get, it is comforting to know there are others with the same problems! I

Thank you
