Now let me see...
Well, I finally got it right. After fumbling and farting, I finally found the button! Now is the right time.
I live in a wheelchair, and
I had a stroke. Therefore, it's difficult to buy clothing with my limited income. So there are a few promises I would make to you. If you are generous enough to make a donation, you have a right to expect certain obligations:
1- Any outerwear purchased will be discounted.
2- Any leggings will be purchased at the lowest possible price.
3- Any perfume will be purchased at the lowest possible price.
4- Any underwear will be purchased at the lowest possible price.
5- If there is any money left, and I wish to make a donation, I will post it in a blog.
6- Since you are so generous (even a dollar is generous) I will be sure to thank you.
Donations may be made to the right (encircled 'Donate') >>>. Thanks.
PS - Regular donations (monthly) are especially appreciated.
