Marty, I attempted to contribute through the credit card feature and it wouldn't accept the information. Any hints? Our prayers have been with you.

Thanks

we had some difficulty with it in the early hours this am, please try again...

Marty: Just wanted to say thanks for the many-many hours you have put in over the last several days. The service you have provided is immeasurable to not only the people of Belize, but also all of us, through out the world that love the country.

I certainly hope the fund raising effort is going well.

I wonder if it would be prudent to link your donations page from the ambergris.com home page. Perhaps new visitors just cruising by may be drawn there to place a much-needed donation.

Marty, again thanks for ALL of your effort.


Tim
