I do want to emphasize that the site will go on as long as I do, with or without donations...it is just too important of a resource for people like us (hopefully i can pass it along to one of my children one day)

With that said, all funds received beyond the site hosting and domain renewal fees (via member donation and through amazon.com affiliate rewards) will go to one or more shelters in the form of funds or supplies. This way, lightning-strike.com can help both pet-lovers in need as well as the animals they love.

To donate, visit our pet loss donations page.

Hi MD:

I just want to say that I have been very, very blessed by your wonderful "Lightning Strike".....

I am soooooooo happy that this site was available during the very early morning hours of 2/8/2004...... I didn't know
what to do and I didn't know where to go.
After having our beautiful girl put to sleep on 2/7/2004, yes, I had the very loving arms of Ben to fall into, and he, into my arms...........

But, when it was early in the morning, and I was left alone with my thoughts.....it was just too difficult & painful.
I missed my girl soooooooooo very much!!!!

But, upon finding LS, and reading everyone's posts, I quickly realized that "I was not alone in my pain or my grief"....
That, "others understood"....

I believe that the payment to keep LS running is all set for 2004....

It might be a nice idea if everyone (who could), donate $1.00, so that the funds will be taken care of for 2005.

I don't know...............it's just a thought....a suggestion....

Lightning Strike has meant the world to me, (of course, it still does), and I am very sure that this site means so very much to lots of other people........

I was very, very happy to read that "any extra monies" will go to one or more shelters; whether it be in the form of funds or supplies!!!!! God knows that they do a wonderful service, and require so much needed help!!
FANTASTIC IDEA!!!!

Another idea, might be to send along a portion of "extra monies" to the "Animal Poison Control Center".... I don't know;
it's just a thought............ They were absolutely wonderful when I needed expert (and quick) advice after Ms. Lucy was recently poisoned.

That's all.........just wanted to let you know my thoughts!!!

Peace,
Denise

the site has received a paypal donation of $US5.oo today, thank you to the anonymous sender. these funds are important to the upkeep of the site and any overage goes towards our local no-kill shelter.

if you find this site of value and would like to give a donation, please visit the donations page. thank you.

Thank you for bringing this thread up. Somehow I didn't see it before. I don't have a lot, but I don't know what I would have done without this site so I made a small paypal donation. Thank you for being there.

thank you for the donation, there is nothing considered too small (i just finished my taxes for the year so i should know )

I too thank you for bringing this post up. I know these things cost, but just didn't think about it here. DUH Guess my mind has been on other things.

Thank you so much for being here. My donation wasn't huge, I hope it helps.

Thanks again

it does help, everything always helps.

thanks to everyone for this flurry of donations. i never want to make anyone feel like they need to donate, but it helps come November when the site fees come due.

I hope my million dollar donation helps... just kidding
I did my taxes today and did ok so I can spare a few bucks.
Keep up the great work!

another donation, thanks Simba's Daddy...all you guys are great

thanks to the anonymous donor who offered up a gift to L-S of $5.00 today.

your story should be shared with everyone here, i hope you choose to do so

This donation is made in loving memory of my best buddy, Little Man, (Zoey) on his three year anniversary at the bridge.

This website was certainly a lifeline for me in my time of need and I hope our donatons will continue to help keep it available for all grieving pet lovers.

Thanks MD for continuing to provide a much needed service.

thank you Jim and Zoey! good timing, the site goes up for renewal early next month. much appreciated

I never saw this thread before now, and I, like Moose mom, never thought about any costs that came along with running such a site. I made a donation today in memory of my precious girl and I hope that this site can continue to help myself and others for a long time to come....

thanks Kim, was a nice surprise to wake up and see your donation in my inbox. much appreciated, the site comes up for renewal in a week! so great timing

Hi There,

Since I once had a dreadful experience w/paypal (from what I understand, I'm the only one in the world who ever has). Suspicious sort that I am, I was wondering if there is a p.o box or such to send a check.

Please advise (or maybe I'll use my husbands credit card ).

Thanks, Sharon

i have heard more than several people who have had issues with paypal. they have worked hard over the years to become better, i think they have done a good job but you never know!

i can't post my address information, but will send it to anyone who wants it via private message on this site. check your inbox, and thanks for helping out

thank you to Twitchit's mom Kim for her generous $100 donation to the website; that will surely go a long way to helping me out and i appreciate it greatly!

much appreciation for everybody's help, the site has been paid for another year!

i will be donating the remainder, $56.00, in food and supplies to the local no-kill shelter here, in great part due to your animal compassion
