I realize that the majority of us may not be in a position financially to cure all of OCF's debts, but I firmly believe that if EACH of us would make a contribution, no matter how small, that it could certainly make a difference in the bottom line!
Let's inundate OCF with our donations! Just think where we might be today, if NOT for OCF!

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 510 | As of today, there have been more than 4600 'members' on the forum...Just for the sake of argument, let's assume that the majority of these members have visited the site, found the info they were seeking and left, or fully recovered (hopefully) and no longer frequent OCF...By my 'guestimate' fewer than 100 of us are actively posting on a regular basis. If even 100 of us contribute a minimum of $25.00, that figure wouldn't be monumental...However, many of us COULD contribute more than a minimum amount; In addition, many of us could contribute on a REGULAR basis, thereby increasing the 'pot'.
I could not repay OCF in dollars for what it has given me! Peace of mind is PRICELESS!
Administrators state that a fundraiser is being planned; I, for one, have no need to wait until then. I will support OCF now, and I hope you will, as well!
God bless you all......Lois
