You're right mmmty, it's going to a good cause.  I'd gladly pay a premium knowing that.

demik also knows about what happened to my dog earlier this year, and my brother also has a husky that needed a $3-4 grand surgery for eating something ridiculous.

I know what that's like. I had to cover $900+ in vet bills when my dog developed a luxating patella in her right knee (after recovering from a broken leg).

$30 to the Mika fund, (I'd give more if I wasn't typenow broke). I'll send directly to Demik to avoid double fees going to Paypal.

Well is good to know that he was able to save his stuff and his dog :-)

I talked to demik offline.  So many of you helped.  This is so amazing!  It is cool to see folks helping out a fellow geekhacker.  He thinks he has enough to cover Mika's medical bills.  Hopefully this is it and Mika will be fine after this round of care.  

Thanks again for the help.  To people who sent me your donations, I am sending all donations to demik now.  

Keep bidding on those caps!  :-)

As litster stated, I believe I have enough to cover her bills now.


I seriously can't thank you all enough for what you've done for me. Especially Lit and tsangan for starting this because I was too chicken **** to ask for help.

Everybody that donated, whether it was cash, keycaps or kind words you are all awesome people and I hope one day I'm able to return the favor.

Again, if you donated and would like some of next month's keycaps do PM me.

Now I'm going to transfer the money from my PayPal to my bank account and set up her appointment so they can see her ASAP. I'll keep you guys posted.
