Dave,
GoFundMe does charge a % for the service they provide.
The other option is to make a PayPal donation which get's Jim 100% of the donation.
Jim Thompson’s PayPal addy is: Jim96003@gmail.com
If you don’t have PayPal you can send Maggie & I a check or money order (made out to me) and we will make the PayPal donation for you.
Our snail mail addy is:
Larry Chase
145 Viols Ave
Ponca City, OK 74601
Thanks for the inquiry,
