Thank you all for donating, Patti very much appreciates it. I have gotten in contact with Patti and I have sent her the first payment. GoFundMe transfers money in payments that are fractions of the received donations. Thanks again everyone.

I am doing this on behalf of Patricia Brooks (Stalker Patty) of O and A fame. Patty has worked hard all her life and retired. She and her cat Sampson have become a victim of the shutdown, depending on supplemental income for her and her pets. Let's show Patty the recognition she deserves for many hours of fantastic radio.
