"How else may I help?" Another answer.

First, thank you for asking how else you may help.

At least a half dozen people have raised the subject of money. So much of Jeff and Kellie's focus has to be elsewhere that their income is and will have to suffer. This experience is so costly on so many levels, but some of us are thinking that the financial cost could easily be at least somewhat relieved. You know how hugely relieved we are that J&K found a route thru the bureaucracy such that much of their medical is being paid (kiss that social worker for us!). Well...

You see, there are over 60 of us now in the Lotsa Helping Hands community, and more beyond that site, and many hands do indeed make light work. For instance, I could happily budget $5/week = $20/month to send to J&K. That adds up to over $1200 a month if we all did it, or about $600 if half of us did. Easy, huh? But very helpful. I know, $5 isn't much, but pace ourselves, this is gonna take some endurance. So...

Here are some ways now in place for those of us who want to and can gift some financial help to J,K&Z:

1. By check - make the check out to Jeff Blank and send it to "Stillpoint, 4110 Stone Way North, Seattle, WA 98103, Att'n: JKZ." Please put "JKZ" also in the memo/for field on your check. Susan Scott and Gary Jaeger have deposit slips there at Stillpoint, and will make the deposits.

2. By cash - call Susan Scott at 206-972-2389 and arrange a time to drop off an envelope, once again marked "JKZ," to the same Stone Way address.

3. By PayPal - this makes it possible to use a credit card or bank account. If you have a PayPal account, click on "Send Money" in the menu bar at the top of the page, enter the email address to: "jeff@joyinaction.com" and PayPal will directly send your gift to the JKZ savings account. You will receive an e-mail receipt for your donation from PayPal. If you don't have a PayPal account, it is easy to sign up for one by going to PayPal.

Voila!

Thank you for all of your generous support (not only financial) of Jeff, Kellie and Zoe. The palms of our hands are together, our heads are bowed to you.

Deeply, thank you.
