the tigermoose fund

well as many of you know tigerlily and i are a hipforum couple who have been together for just short of one year. we love eachother very much and being so far apart is a pain in the ass...it is also quite expensive. recently i just pursuaded tigerlily to set up a paypal account in order for us to sell of some stuff on ebay, and other things, but, we'e both still very poor.....essentially what i'm saying is, gimme yo' god damn money, now foo'!
we are currently acepting donations from any and all that are willing to give it...now we're not asking money for nothing, we are prepared to do what it takes to make the money we need to be together on a permanent basis. tigerlily is an excellent artist and would be willing to draw portraits of users for nominal donations, and i could make short movies of users using my oh so superior paint skills. we're also considering running a hipforums lottery/draw, where half the earnings would go towards our fund and the other half would be up for grabs by the winner...you could win money while supporting a great cause. pretty much anything either one of us can do to inspire you to support us would be much appreciated.
we have both been VERY cautious with the money we spend in order to save up as much as possible to see eachother. recently we just bought 20 dollar head phones so we can talk over the computer and save ourselves about 100 dollars a month on phone bills
please help us! i love her more than anything and the only thing standing in our way is money and time, since immigration is a very expensive and lengthy process.
any hints or suggestions pertaining to other way we can increase donations would be much obliged, and if anyone would like to contribute a pm would be a appreciated. we'll keep a running total on how much we've managed to save up and we'll both be making regular contributions to our own fund.
thank you all for your consideration!

edit- i should clarify we're not looking for large donations were looking for small donations of 1 or 2 dollars here and there, we don't want to put anybody out any serious money, just, enough so it'd be like you were buying us a coffee or something.

 

Wow.

Maybe you should make your video escapades with Tigerlily a paying concern.... people seem to appreciate em...

 

how about instead of giving half of the money to the "hipforums lottery winner" you agree to give half of the money to the lottery winner's charity of choice. That might give people some incentive if they know that some of it will go to a good cause (besides yours) instead of someone elses pocket.

I vote for the local ASPCA! (but i have no money to donate, sorry)

 

we could certainly set it up to be that way said winner decided they wanted to give it away to a charity..and iron goth, we're not really sure about that.

 

id prolly donate...um, if i could afford to buy groceries. yeah.

good luck!

 

i imagine you'd make a hell of a lot of money off of those porno videos.

 

If we weren't trying to save up money for our own hipforum-couple related life-problems, I'd be happy to donate something! Maybe at Christmas

 

awww i'm sad because the poor ppl are posting and it makes me feel bad that we're asking for money we should be giving you guys money...

oh and please don't take that as an insult....

 

Yea, I think we can swing something after a couple more pay periods.

How soon were you two wanting to meet up? what all does it involve? Flying down with a 1 way ticket? Moving van rental? What's your plans? Maybe we can also help look around for some discounts/deals for you.

 

I'll send you guys some money (like would 20 bucks be enough?? I'm not really poor but it's my parents money *blushes*) as soon as I get more, right now I couldn't be more broke, but, soon

 

expectant mothers and boyfriends of expectant mothers aren't allowed to donate. and penny, thats WAY to much money, we're only looking for two dollars here, three dollars there sorta thing...and we have to be able to give you back something too, like make ya a portrait, or write you a song or something.

we won't be moving in anytime soon, this is a long term sorta thing where we hope to gather a small amount of funds over a long period of time to help us actually meet the financial requirments we'll eventually face. the move won't take place for probably a good 'nother year in order for tiger to finish uni, which will greatly increase her chances of immigration...but even with that time cushion, with her paying for uni, and my low wage job, the finances just don't look that feasible

us hippies are poor so we really don't want large donations, but small donations over time have a way of adding up quite nicely.

-so penny, tell us what you want and we'll make it for you, but for less than 20 dollars

 

yea I would have chose that rather than doing this, but I do like one part of this, he's not going thru a job to make the money fuck taxes and a job

 

Charles, if we want to donate, we will....We know what it's like to be seperated by distance, you know.

And as far as what you could do to pay us back, well....Instead of giving us anything, how about when you two finally meet and get things settled, you guys can find a way to meet up with us guys....or if we're ever in your area, you'll grace us with a visit.....we're always up for meeting more forumers

 

I don't want anything back!! No really I'm happy to give you 20 bucks, it's nothing...

 

well if you were ever in our area you'd be welcome to come stay with us regardless of whether or not you donate so your point is moot , seriously though the only thing more expensive than a long distance relationship...is a baby...you guys have your own fish to fry, seriously we'd feel too bad about accepting money from you
and dammit penny 20 is too much for a one time donation...if you feel like donating 20 why not do it over a couple of months for various things in like 2 dollar installments? besides if you donate 20 dollars then someone who wants to donate a dollar or so would be less likely to do so if their donation was to be compared to yours. if everyone only donates a few dollars then if a user wants to donate a dollar or somethign he/she wont feel bad about such a small sum...but really small sums add up if lots of people just donate a dollar here and there.

 

you know what you could do, Penny.....donate a dollar every 5 minutes for an hour and 40 minutes

 

ooooooooo you troublesome donators...i bet not every "charity" has to fend off money like we do.
now thats love thank you guys for the support it really does mean a whole heck of a lot to us. we certianly have ample room for donations of moral support.

 

oww i wish i could help you guys but i'm just really poor myself

i'm sorry, i'll let ya know if i get my hands on some money!
good luck!! *big hug*

 

okay its your job to win the lottery for us sara...and.....GO!.......did ya win yet?

 

oh yeah, and Dangermoose....Babies might be expensive, but flying/bussing back and forth for visits to loved ones can be even more so over time....so we will spend our money as we see fit
