will money orders work too?
Western Union sucks, the fees are terrible.
Cash is the only 100% working way of payment :) Plus PayPal and money orders are available in some countries. At least one of these three options will work everywhere :)
I'm discussing with Barbara some auction of bootlegs - fuck the copyrights in this case.

NOBY1975, money order is an option. Please email Melissa - see email above.
It is definitely not safe to send cash from most Latin American countries. The post offices can be quite corrupt, am I right Marial?
I do not suggest sending cash hidden in an envelope either. There are just too many things that could happen. The odds are against it but with cash, if it's gone it's gone. If you mail a money order or check, then it can be cancelled or tracked. However if sending cash hidden in an envelope is your only means of helping, then do so at your own risk. It is a risk.
Anyone wanting to mail a money order or personal check in the mail to me needs to email me for an address.
Thanks everyone.

European Union residents can make a EU bank transfer which does not cost more than a national bank transfer - except Italians because Italian banks ignore the EU law. If you are a EU resident and want to make a bank transfer, please email me.
Lisser - I've sent cash 1000 times already, about 2x it got lost and 2x it was stolen. Pretty good percentage :) Post offices are usually very safe, the only exceptions (from my experiences) being South America, Italy, Eastern Europe, maybe Spain.
Marial - so there's some kind of law that you can't just buy $$$ in the exchange office? Or any foreign currency? So if you decide to go on holiday abroad, you have no chance of buying $$$ quickly?
YV - it's not only Italy, I told you about it :) ANY foreign transfer for me costs AT LEAST 10-15 euros.

That will probably change when you get the euro, Martin. But then everything will be so expensive that you have no money left to transfer somewhere :-)

Martin, yes very good percentages and the odds are against the money getting lost or stolen..I just hate the risk. I know how it would make me feel to have money lost or stolen in the mail and I wouldn't want it to happen to anyone else. Anyone who wants to send money hidden through the mail is welcome to do so, I just hope it makes it to me so I can get it to Kayla.
Again, thank you everyone that has already donated. We have a very generous group here.

Yes, of course. If you want, we will also post your donation here.
Absolutely...to the people that have donated, if you want it known that you have donated and if you want the amount known, either let Barb or myself know. Be specific as to whether you just want your name posted or if you want your name and the amount you donated posted. I can tell you that I have received 4 donations from Zoners. Until I hear from the 4 people that have donated, I won't say much more than that.
*Feels loved* Thank you.
I don't want anyone to go all out, whatever you can do will make me extremely happy.
