Hi Jesa, I'm home now and have caught up on the last couple of messages. Just to clarify, when I told you the Bay's Animal Board had very experienced people there and you could post to get their help, that didn't mean that you should post to request donations because they won't do it. Rather, I meant you should ask them for a list of resources that can help you...there are very experienced Rescuers/vets/vet techs that post there (not that they don't post here too...but cross-posting will allow you to get the most responses).
Having said that, because they are so experienced, they also would have checked out your auction and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they had not only reported your thread, but your auction as well. The Bay has very strict guidelines about charity auctions and the only way YOU can comply (since you're not a registered charity) is to offer something tangible to every single buyer - even if it's just a picture of Azeza, but you cannot just take donations. The moderators will pull your Discussion Boards posts a lot faster than they will the auctions, that's why I say don't be surprised if it doesn't happen...unless you modify it before they review it.
The above is just FYI.....now let me go get the other links for you and post them.
