Actually, I think she is giving me a slightly lower rate than usual (& her partners have to agree to do it).
Also, normally each piece of the fee would be due at the time it was needed...
the first part the Monday we met @ the ADA's office,
the second part when I was charged with ccw,
the third part when the trial starts (or actually, slightly before).
She's being very flexible in working with my terrible financial situation.
If only 600 people would donate $10, that would cover the current expenses.
Most people are giving around $20. Then it'd only take 300 people.
A few people are in a good financial position, and can afford to be generous, and I appreciate the help. (Some of you, more than once. Yes, I occasionally sort by email address, especially when one looks familiar.)
A few people are in a financial situation like me, and I've gotten donations as small as $2, and I appreciate the help... and tear up knowing that they're probably every bit as poor as I am, yet they're helping.
(Which is a much nicer thought than someone who shoots a .22 being a smarta$$ about the "one box of ammo" thing.)
ETA ((Or, thinking worse, as someone suggested to me, that those people might hope by donating somehow they get access to non-public information.))
And then there's the turkey... :shocker:

Did MKEgal ever get her CCW license?
That's a whole 'nother can of worms...
Another set of "too many coincidences".

If you're at Lizzie's tonight, maybe I'll try to explain some of them. Might even bring along paperwork.
But since I'm a prohibited person for now, it doesn't matter.
If I get to the Delavan Starbucks on Sunday, will there be someone to give money to for her?
I was thinking of going myself.
Also will probably go to Lizzie's tonight; need some human contact.
(Being on the phone for 30min with an IT guy who barely speaks or understands English doesn't count.
Seriously, I got so frustrated that I hung up & called back & got a gal who sounded like her first language was English.)
