I tried too… the charity’s website is dreadful. No matter what I do I end up with “Something went wrong.”
Tried to do $120 on Frank’s page. Filled out the form. Picking either CC or Paypal, you go to a page that says “Find a participant.” What? I hit Donate Now on FRANK’S PAGE. Oh well, enter Frank’s name. Found him, click on his name… which takes you back to his page with the form blank again.
Tried five times with PayPal and that never worked. Five times with CC. Nada.
Their IT people should be beaten with dried pasta.![Mad :mad:](./images/smilies/mad.gif)
Can I send you the money and see if you have better luck? I’m mad mainly because I thought it would bring you a tiny, fleeting moment of badly-needed happiness.

I was on an iPad… it’s possible their site doesn’t play well with iStuff.
