I can't speak for anyone else. I can only tell you what I experience myself.

I live on a very small disability income. I don't even have enough money to own a car. The mudcat is important to me. I send money to Max when I pay my bills each month. It's not much, but I try to send in five or ten dollars every month. I'm not saying this so be self-riteous. I'm saying it so people with very little money can know that it can be done.

I used to belong to a food co-op. For a long time the co-op was supported almost entirely by the efforts of a small handful of people. When that small handful of people burned out, the co-op folded. It can happen, folks. If we want something to happen, we have to make sure we each do our part. Some of us can't do as much as others, but we should all try to do something.

The people in the U.K. could agree on one person that they could send a check or money to, and a little extra to cover the cost of the money order or cashiers check, or whatever. That person could take care of converting all of the donations they recieve into a form that could be sent overseas, and they could send that to Max.

Or not...
