Due to living overseas (and a busted attempt to make a paypal account that I can't fix) I'm unable to send in money for the donation drive, despite wanting to. I've spoken to Meso multiple times in the past, and have been unable to help shoulder his burdens. I've been pretty frustrated about it for a while. However, due to the kind generosity of Network Pesci (and his better geographical position) I was able to organise some assistance for the drive.
Even if you can't help directly, I strongly encourage others to encourage others to help - you're not alone in this, there will always be people that are willing to help, you just need to find them.
