At the suggestion of a dear friend and a lot of thought I’ve decided to post my basic costs up here. Several people have asked how they can help and in the spirit of accepting gifts I hope this gives a good idea of my expenses so that people who want to help know what the money kind of goes to. I don’t need money but if you feel like gifting I won’t turn it down. My PayPal email is pjneiger@gmail.com
