I'm In Jail, Can You Help?

I'm not one to aggressively fundraise, but will make an exception, especially if it keeps me out of jail

I'm generally the person who 'gives at the office,' but like most editors in Patch, I really don't have one any more, so when the opportunity presented itself to help the Muscular Dystrophy Association, I really couldn't say no.

In addition, the woman who enlisted me is herself dealing with a fair amount of personal health issues and I was touched by her selflessness in sharing 'cell space' with me.

So, I'm off to jail on July 26, but am hoping to raise 'bail money' in the form of donations to MDA, and there is nothing more I would like than to make a decent showing, even if I do fall short. My bail has been set at $1,600, which is what it costs to send a kid afflicted with the muscular disorder to camp.

I don't really care if you give $1 or $100, but would love Patch nation to make a statement and make a dent in my bail.

If you're able to help out, I'll be forever grateful, but more importantly the kids we serve will be forever impacted.

Donating is ridiculously easy - click here for my personal webpage. Thanks for your help - I'll write you on July 25 from prison, which is the Karma Bar & Grill on E. Ogden Street in Milwaukee, should I have to go.
