"Any" literally does mean any. Five or ten bucks may represent more from somebody than a couple of hundred from somebody else. Yet each might be embarrassed to record those amounts publicly (small or large).
And it's more thoughtful to the contributors in another way, as well. Somebody may get paid after a "goal" is reached and then feel as if his/her contribution wasn't wanted.
To me, contributing to this is not really a finite, tangible form of assistance to Sam and Adele. It's being part of a community that helps its members in a wide variety of ways. IMO, putting even a dollar or two in an envelope and sending it in would not be a "token gift", but a meaningful effort.Comment

Keep looking up....we got your back!!!All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible

I am pretty much speechless (and for those of you that know me that is really saying something). Others have said this forum is like family and I have always agreed that there is no other place on the web where you would find a better group of people.
Sam has been gone all day with both our sons at a cub scouting event. He returned about 7:30 and as usual got on the computer to check out his email and check on the forum. He shortly thereafter told me to come here and told me about this post. I still haven’t stopped crying. We are both touched beyond words.Comment

This is the same thing, but through the electrons. There will always be help for those who help others.Comment

There's no such thing here as a gift that's too small! Two bucks buys one of the windshield wipers; five bucks probably covers the steering wheel; ten bucks for a door latching assembly; $25 does one of the seats; and so on.
My gift is earmarked for the front passenger or driver's seat, whichever Adele will be using.Last edited by gwyneth; 10-20-2007, 08:06 PM.Comment

Sam, Adele,
No words are needed. You're family. We take care of our own.
