A neutral funds-holder would probably smooth a lot of feathers.

Ann, I don't even WANT donations from YT..... I would be perfectly content to have this whole donation thing just go away!! Sending a gift to Emma is one thing... and we're happy to accept.... I told everyone and anyone who contacted me from the start, that wanted to send a financial donation - NOT TO.... to send a little something especially for Emma if they wanted to support her... (a blanket, a toy, etc.)

Finally at the urging of others, I agreed to accept the donations being offered.

THIS happened..... I decided to STOP donations and have any returned that had already been given..... that was done.....

Another upset... this time of the people who I so care about and value... this time of the people who had been called by their own hearts to help Emma... and feelings were hurt.

Again, at their urging.... I threw my hands up and told Tracy (Beabble) that the entire thing was in her hands. Accept or don't accept.... whatever she wanted to do... but I wanted nothing to do with the dealings of any of it.

I have NEVER had "control" in this aspect.... never wanted it! The paypal account is NOT mine... it's Tracy's.... she was kind enough to set it up when I was talking to some LOCAL folks here and they inquired as to where they could donate. The myspace page is NOT mine.... again, Tracy was kind enough to do that for Emma.

The new forum for Emma... is NOT mine.... this, a gift from Sammi....

I put together the youtube video.... and yes, at the end, I put information and links to the available contacts to help Emma.... because THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SUPPORT OF HER WANT!!!

To anyone else who has such "concerns".........

Do you (not directed at anyone in particular) think that the 400.00 (or close to that, give or take) that we received in donations towards Natalie's care last year - kept me from getting the 6,000.00 treatment she needed??? NO! People gave because they WANTED TO HELP... and help, they did.

I don't feel the need to continue to try to prove anything to anyone here.... I've never asked for a thing financially... merely did I post Emma's story in search of information and prayer... Emotional support... and friendship... and if you all (again, not directed to any one person) need written documentation and financial stats to extend yourselves to offer that.... frankly, I don't want it.....
