Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 64 | Thank you for the thought Donna, but because of all the Internet fraud, the bank which runs the finances of the store will not allow out of the US credit card transactions. The only way that it can be done is by PayPal or check. But your desire is greatly appreciated.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 214 | For some reason, I was unaware that donations could be made through paypal. It was nice to see that as an option. I was a little confused by the donation page as well, but that's probably due to having radiation to my head and neck. Ha ha.

Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 79 | Hi - I'm also in Canada and would really like to donate to OCF. I've tried a couple of times and was also told I could pay by PayPal but the donation page won't let you get that far if you don't put in your full address and, as discussed above, the only country it will accept is United States. If I get an international money order in US dollars where would I send it? Thanks

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 64 | Thank you for telling me about the store issue. I guess with Paypal out of the country you would have to just go into Paypal directly (not our store) and send the money to OCF's email address. The about us link on the main navigation bar of the web site has the foundation's address there. Thanks for looking into this and your willingness to help.
