Isn't that what life is about, helping and being there for each other, through the good and the bad times. Some of you might not know me personally , but your act of kindness has not gone unnoticed :)) For me the flickr community is so special and fulfilling , and i hope i can pass on my good will to others through it .... I am a strong believer in angels being among us here on Earth. Kind Regards Jules xx I would like to say a ‘huge’ Thankyou to Karoli and all the other kind hearted generous people who have gone out of their way to help me get back online through your donations, which was able to go towards me purchasing another laptop :) )

Some might be critical of the effort to help specific people when the same money could go to a charity that helps more, but I see value in both approaches. When I shouted out for ways to help Jules the response was overwhelming. Truly, the internet is full of wonderful people who really do want to help others. Jules will be back online soon as a result of everyone’s generosity. Sometimes, knowing the person you are helping makes the act of giving a much more personal, and often sacrificial act of lovingkindness.

I have no idea about the conversion rate. Just let me know what I can do. Jules has been such an inspiration to so many of us and I find I miss her photos and comments very much. I am also in the United States. Thanks for doing this for her! Hi,

I have a paypal account that I find easy to use - I will suggest to Jules that she opens one (its free) but she will lose a little of the money she receives to pay for the service. Let me know if you come up with anything better though. Maybe....an online laptop seller would accept little payments and keep them till they add up to a new laptop and then ship it direct to her? Just a thought. Jules is a special Flickr friend of mine too and Im happy to help donate to get her back up and running.

I did get hold of Jules via her personal email address and am in the process of putting together a paypal link to help her out. I know that she's really appreciative and overwhelmed by everyone's generosity, and I should have more information available later on today. :) Thanks to everyone who has emailed or posted comments here.
