Since I crea­ted this site around Novem­ber of 2005, I’ve had seve­ral of you ask if you could donate, somehow, somewhere. I wasn’t sure how to do that. What I did know is that millions of patients have suf­fe­red, and still suffer…and this site was to help edu­cate you on what we have lear­ned…and that edu­ca­tion, in turn, could be taken to your doc­tors on how to stop the madness.

But, I found out that STTM can have a way for those that appre­ciate and use it to donate money towards the cost of HAVING THIS SITE UP — towards the hos­ting fees. Yes, STTM costs me. So…at the bot­tom of any non-forum page, just like this one, you will see a small rec­tan­gu­lar but­ton that says: HOSTING DONATIONS ACCEPTED You can donate any amount – high, low or in bet­ween – to the com­pany that hosts STTM. It’s totally your decision.

Yes, it helps me, but it cer­tainly unders­co­res that STTM is “ever­yo­nes” site, not just mine. So for those of you who have really wan­ted to help, and to feel a part of an impor­tant world­wide patient revo­lu­tion, there it is. And thanks. :)

  • The extre­mely hip and sophis­ti­ca­ted STTM t-shirts are half price! Great BUMPER STICKERS, too. Spread the word – YOU may make a dif­fe­rence in someone’s life.
  • Check out the patient-to-patient book with even more detail (and which doc­tors seem to res­pect more than websites).

    It was just a week or so ago that I chi­med in on one of the forums in agree­ment of this site accep­ting volun­tary dona­tions. I really didn’t expect it to hap­pen but just found out that it’s a go!! I am thri­lled and gra­te­ful to have a venue to give back. Some day I will have expe­rience to offer but I’m not there today. :) Just LOTS of ques­tions!
    Hats off to all mode­ra­tors and espe­cially to Debo­rah for her tho­rough­ness, patience and kind­ness… Carol

    Deligh­ted to be able to donate, wish it could be a hun­dred times more. You have been a great help to me, and I am sure to many, many others. The infor­ma­tion you pro­vide is pri­ce­less. I wish I’d had it 15 years ago. I wish my Mom had it, may she rest in peace.
