It started off slow but it got kicked into high gear when I offered to match donations to the Union Gospel Mission’s Easter meal drive at 2 to 1.
Fifty five readers stepped up to the plate and donated a total of $2,505.97 to help feed the hungry this Easter. I want to give special recognition to Free Money Finance for their $1000 donation and Quinton Pullen for his $400 contribution. A big thank you also goes out to the following readers who made donations:
Adam Rubenstein, Jürgen “ZZZ” Zahrl, Mark Blair, Rachel Duncan, Robert Lam, Jeremy, Mark Givens, Michael Henry, Krishna Pillai, Siva Kyasa, Rick McBride, Gary Ng, Shawn Knight, Mike James, Alan LeStourgeon, ChaoFan Ltd., Joseph Patterson, Christoph Puetz, John Zuncke, Idea Feeder, Brian Nguyen, Jian Jye See, Brandon Adcock, Israel Lagares, Keith Lock, Walt Breuninger, Andrew B, Think Like An SOB, Michael Kwan, Patrick Hankinson, Nick Morlan, Simon Lau, McGrath Info Solution, Ramon Deterink, Jonathan Radande, Dave Chevalier, Raymond Liu, Jimson Lee, Dino Hadzic, Philip Yong, Nick Turner, Gather Success, Nishadha Silva, Greg Morgan, Danny Chang, Alan Whitton, Marita, Tom Tessin, Chris Merrill, John Kim, Melvin Richardson.
I can’t express how overwhelm I am by the outpouring of support you have given this worthy cause. I said I would match your donations at 2 to 1 and I am happy to do so. I’ve just sent the UGM my donation for $5,011.94 to bring our total donations up to $7,517.91. That’s enough to feed over 2,900 people!
Thank you for your support.

Good Job Everyone! I totally forgot about it and missed it! Sorry John, but get me next time for sure!
I’m pretty sure you can still donate to UGM!
Uh yeah, the donation has doors open all the time.
God Bless you all, Keep on doing good cause.
Congrats to everyone who stepped up! Easter will certainly be brighter for those less fortunate people at the UGM this year!
Wow, you rock!
You should do this more often
Awesome! I’m glad the readers to JC.com pulled through.
Big thanks to John for matching 2:1 too!
I’m glad things worked out so well, and glad that I could help.
Wow, you have a lot of generous and devoted reader! I am really impressed with the amount one “personal” web site brought in to donate. I was also impressed that you matched the donations! You are a good man my friend.
That’s absolutely wonderful! I do hope next year I’ll have the funds to be able to donate, what a great cause. Thank you to everybody who did donate, you’re all doing your part in making society a little bit better!
Congrats!
Keep me on your list and send me an email next time you do this. I will be more then happy to donate again. I was really happy I came across this page. It was my first time visiting, and the offer, and UGM moved me so much.
Thanks, you do great things

Great charity, can’t think of a better thing to do on Easter than at least feed the hungry. It nice to see everyone contribute. Thanks for the mention John.
Keep up the good charitable work John. I am glad I could donate to a worthy cause and would do so again.
John, Thanks for the add, but i just wanted to make sure you recieved the donation! Thanks for doing a really great thing with your fame!
That is awesome John. It’s great that everyone was able to pitch in and you matched it 2 to 1. You’re a really great person for doing this for the Union Gospel Mission.

Very Impressive. I am glad you decided to go over your $1000 inital cap for the worthy cause.
You got my domain wrong, but I went and fixed it myself.
Oh no! I never sent you the receipt. I was under the impression that you’d be posting the donors list next monday! Oh well, at least I know I gave to a good cause regardless.
You got my domain wrong too but I can’t fix it myself like Mr. Kwan.
It’s keithjameslock.com
Ops! Fixed now.
Sweet! Nice work everyone!
That’s amazing!
Thats great, when is the next donation ceremony though, maybe CJ will pay out quicker next time so I can donate something
haha yeah John you got my domain wrong as well. It should be http://www.philipyong.com and not http://www.philipyoUng.com.
Thanks anyway.
Am I like the only one whose domain is actually correct?
John,

I’m sorry..
