My last push to try to help Rachel during cancer treatment E-mail
Written by Courtney   
Friday, 20 August 2010

Ok I tried to send a PM to everyone but it keeps crashing so I will post here... sorry if you got this in PM already.  and luckily, after Rachel dismembered me for asking for help before... she left one arm so I can still type this *giggle*

Things never quite go as we plan.  Rachel was supposed to be done with her cancer treatment by now, but with the doctors adding more treatment sessions, and a personal family emergency pushing the schedule back even farther.  Rachel is finally down to her last two treatments.  One on Wednesday and the last one three weeks after... So THANK GOD her ordeal will be over in 4 weeks.

The delays have had an unfortunate side effect.  The gracious donations from the members here have, with their big hearts, helped her pay bills and fund her recovery for the duration... but because of the delays... she has fallen a month short.

This will be my last time beseeching you wonderful Havenettes to aid our fearless leader in the darkest time of her life.  If anyone can find in in their hearts to make a monetary donation to help out for this final month, I would forever be grateful.  Any amount will help...  you can make PayPal donations to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

As I have said before... Rachel has had our backs for so many years, I feel it is just our turn to show that we have hers. 

As this will be the last time I will request this sacrifice from you, since Rachel will complete her dismembering job on me.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  Embarrased

Bren broke the server! E-mail

If you prefer to believe that Bren was willing to fly cross country to Los Angeles JUST to destroy the Haven I think you really don't know her that well!

Though we are still waiting for a reply from our host, it seems there WAS an issue with a Cisco switch malfunctioning which caused many , many servers huge headaches. I'm going to assume for the moment this is what affected us because as soon as they posted that update we came back online.

 Remember, anytime you can't access the Haven you should always check the status group on Yahoo to see what's going on. As we learn new info we post it there first, especially when the site is inaccessible! Just follow this link to go join: Haven group on Yahoo

Eeep! Critical Juncture... E-mail
Written by Courtney   
Friday, 11 June 2010

First off, I would like to truly give my heartfelt thanks to all of the Havenettes that have donated to help Rachel with her bills the past two months.  But we are now at a critical juncture where the donations have slowed way down and the bills have finally overtaken the incoming stream of love from you awesome girls.

We are in the homestretch now and thanks to all of you Rachel has been able to pay everything up till now... in these final few weeks some very important bills are due like this quarter's Haven hosting fees.  I know it is way forward for me to ask and I guarantee that Rachel will see to it that  I am filleted alive then boiled in my own blood  for asking... but if there is anyone else who can spare anything to help such a wonderful person like Rachel in the darkest time of her life, I would be massively indebted to you.  All of the same rewards (captions and post count spiffs) will be in effect for any additional donations that you can spare.

I love all of you ladies and think this is the most incredible community... and I absolutely adore the boss (even though she will be my death after this).

PayPal Donations can be made to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it or contact me for a relay mailing address if you feel more comfortable mailing it to Rachel.

Once again, thank you all!

EEEP! Help Save the Rachel! E-mail
Written by Courtney   
Thursday, 18 March 2010

Ok I know I have done a couple of fundraisers for Rachel recently, but neither of them are as important as this one.

As most of you know, Rachel has cancer and has been through a few operations to get to the point where they can start treating her with Chemo.  In the interim, other things conspired against her... she lost her job among other things.

Which has caused a huge financial burden on her at a time where it is most needed.  Paying for her treatment has drained what funds she has and with no paycheck coming in until he treatment is done in 18 weeks, she doesn't have the ability to pay bills, Haven hosting and basic necessities like food.

She is too proud to ask for help... I don't think she understands just how much she is appreciated by her friends and all of us at the Haven who she gave a safe haven for us to express a part of our lives we cannot share with everyone.  I personally owe her so much for making this place and I will do whatever I can financially and emotionally to help her out.

So this is the most important fund raiser I have ever spearheaded for Rachel and the Haven.  I am asking for donations to help Rachel out financially in this most challenging point in her life... I want to prove to her that she has the support, backing and love of the Havenettes and that we have her back like she has had our backs all theses years.  Make donations to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ... any amount will be a huge help.

And Rachel, before you boil me in oil for posting this... shut up, sit down and just bask in the love from the Haven.


-Courtney

P.S. I will be handing out post credits to anyone who donates or even says words of encouragement in this topic.  Dementia and ShySteffie and PlayinPetra have also offered to make special captions for the most generous people.
