This page has been updated to the current date and time. Enjoy!
Since I first started to create this Stop the Thyroid Madness site around November/December of 2005, I’ve had several of you ask if you could donate, somehow, somewhere. At first, 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.
And now there is a way to donate!
Your donation goes towards the hosting fees to keep this site up. No, it does NOT go into Janie’s pocket in any way. Instead, it goes towards the monthly fees that are charged to host this site. And the larger the STTM website has become over the years, the larger those monthly fees. And since this is not Janie’s website, per se, but YOUR website of your experiences and wisdom, contributing to those hosting fees is a good thing.
At the bottom of any page on Stop the Thyroid Madness, just like this one, you will see this under the heading “Story and Support”: STTM needs your help to stay up. Please donate to the hosting fee! Under that is the icon you click on. The smaller amounts aren’t anywhere near enough to even pay for a month. But every little bit helps towards the whole. And for those who are able to give much bigger amounts, that’s very helpful, too.
Your donation assures that STTM will stay up. It’s “everyones” site. 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. 🙂

Where can I donate for hosting fees?
Do you have an email address that I can use to make a paypal payment?
You should have a paypal button on your site.

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.

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
