A Note on Donations

(UPDATE: If the ChipIn widget is being slow for anyone, or if you'd like to donate in another way -- please feel free to contact me at nick AT outskirts DOT net.)

I just wanted to let everyone know that they can contribute to my medical expenses by clicking on the ChipIn widget on the left-hand side. I'm going to have to come up with around $14,000 to continue my dendritic cell therapy at my next visit to the PraxisKlinik on November 12th. It would be an immense help if you could donate a little, if you're able. I will be very, very grateful for your support!

The ChipIn widget lets you use PayPal or your credit card to leave a donation. You can also use an "e-check" from your bank -- you put your bank account number into PayPal's secure form and it's treated like an actual check. E-check donations take about 4 days before they clear the bank and show up in the widget thermometer.

You can also gift airmiles via the link to the left -- Liz and I have to fly back and forth to Germany every six weeks and from Austin, there's not really any cheap way to do it -- the best price we've found so far is about $800 round trip. We considered finding an apartment over in Germany, but I have work here in the States and need to take care of my Dad.
