    My head is giant right now out of stress of trying to figure this one out, so i'm sorry if i'm not making any sense about this LMAO :S
    A giant head. Very tiring. We can’t have that, Mashika.




    Your suggestion is a good one. While we wait to see if someone knows how to do 3rd party transaction (Is that what it’s called? ), a few ideas come to mind. Give your Mom the cash and use her PayPal account. Send a money order. Purchase an on-line gift card through Amazon or other food places like iHerb and Vitacost.

    Bill might want to weigh in here about the gift cards. IIRC he has a friend that brings him his vitamins because it’s too costly to ship goods.


    UPDATE: Happy Birthday
    LMAO at the image :D

    Thanks, i think i was half asleep, i asked a friend to deposit from his paypal into my paypal account.. why didn't just simply asked him to make the donation from his account? 😐😪🥴

    Will contact him later today so he makes the donation instead

    Thanks! 23.. I wonder if i should start working on my mid 20's crisis already
    Tired

    I contribute a small amount monthly. We absolutely need the ongoing presence of a free forum to share information. i have never found another forum that lives up to the reputation of PA. Here, if people are respectful, they may say what they think. When an issue is important, people don't usually turn threads into one liner absurdities.

    If everyone contributes regularly, that is an "action" supporting the intention we always have a means to access IMPORTANT VARIETY OF POV and the chance to find the truth in the propaganda push. I have an axiom, "where there is choice, there is a chance". PA offers us as much information as we can gather together to allow INFORMED choice.

    Folks, Hi:
    [Bill continues ...]

    This post is primarily for our newer members of the community, who may not know this thread exists.

    We're delighted you're here, and I hope you feel that way too. As you've seen, there's no advertising here of any kind, the entire thing is subscription-free, and you now have access to an immense library of searchable information, and the opportunity to participate and add to that as much as you wish.

    In various ways, it all costs quite a lot to maintain.

    We do need your voluntary financial support. A few of you have already made a donation on joining, and we very much appreciate that. (And there are other longstanding members reading this who regularly donate: we SO much appreciate that. )

    Even small amounts help. If every active member donated just $1 a month, the effect would be significant. $5 a month, and it's transformational.

    Please think about it. My own commitment is to continue to make the Forum freely available to everyone, including our MANY regular guests and visitors.

    Thanks for all your contributions, in every way. Those who've already made donations, thank you again, and you know who you are. It all counts.

    PayPal address: donation@projectavalon.net. To set up a recurring donation, large or small, please use the orange HOW TO DONATE button at the top right of this page.

    Thank you.



    I'll (RunningDeer) add one more link - Thank you for your donation.
    The donation link is also found at the top, right of every page. Thanks, Everyone.

    Thank you!

    Yes, we have an extra expense now, because of the wise decision — we believe! — of establishing an additional full daily backup, for both the forum and library, outside of any US jurisdiction. See this announcement thread. For non-members reading this, it's simply a risk management exercise.

    At the moment our host, who also manages all our backups, has their server in the US. So it was an all-eggs in-one-basket situation. In the event there was a US executive order to shut down all NWO-critical 'alternative' sites — which is unlikely but not impossible these days — Avalon could vanish into thin air, with backups inaccessible, if we didn't have an additional safety net. So now that's all taken care of, and we can sleep a little more easily.

    The cost of the extra service was small: just over $40/month. But it's still something, when everything is and always has been very tightly managed.

    Paula, bless you for bumping the thread.

    Avalon's costs have soared recently, with the second backup we now have (outside the US, a needed safety net in case any plugs were suddenly pulled), and also a new host for the library which has been growing and growing and now needs twice the space and much more bandwidth.

    S the annual costs were $4200/year, but now stand at $4800. That takes up a full third of my tiny tiny income.

    So for those of you who can afford it (and I do know some just can't!), please do remember to support us every now and then if you can. Just small amounts here and there do very gradually add up to make all the difference in the world.

    A few words.
    Project Avalon almost never outright asks for money. I’ve followed many years and it is very very rare
    It costs a lot of money to run, notwithstanding effort.
    There is no other forum like this. There really isn’t.
    In these times this forum is an anchor of humanity in a storm of dark chaos
    I don’t contribute much, I don’t do the hard research and I’m not smart enough.
    Those here who do the hard work, WOW. Thank you.
    Because I need Avalon, this world needs Avalon, I contribute monthly .
    That’s what I can do. That’s how I can help.
    Avalon is truly a Blessing.
