    A FUND RAISER FOR KIM aka SNAPPLES
    RedwingT says (28 May '11)
    Our Kid Rock Sister "Snapples" !
    It saddens our hearts beyond measure losing our dear friend Kim. Kim was an Amazing Friend to so many of us. We have to thank Kid Rock and The Twisted Brown Trucker Band for their unknown participation in helping us all form such Amazing friendships over the past decade with Kimi! She left behind two little angels, Jolene and Nicole. Her loving mother Deloris and brother Bobby. Her sweet niece Hannah and loving partner Merle. As well as countless Friends! I am quite confident that her Father Robert is walking with our beloved Kim in heaven right now as I type this.
    Kim touched countless lives over the years without even knowing it. She was the type of friend who was always the first to chime in when you needed encouragement, support or simply a little love. Her spirit
    was Beautiful and her zest for life was contagious!
    We have created this Fundraiser in hopes of funding enough money to pay for the entire cost of Kims funeral.
    The total cost for the funeral was $6069.00
    We have added an additional $431.00 to cover the 2.9% and .30 cent per transation fee that paypal will charge.
    Rest assured ALL donations and monies will be accounted for at the end of our fundraiser. A Full report will be printed and sent to Kim's family. So please Give as Much as you can!!
    With Deloris' permission I have been given permission to collect all monies and pay WM Sullivan Funeral Home in Utica, MI. directly at the end of this fundraiser.
    On behalf of Kim's Mother and family, they can't thank you enough for your kindness in this difficult time in the lives.
    Please share this link with all of your friends! I have faith in all of YOU... If everyone participates, I feel confident that our Goal can be reached and this financial burden can be lifted from the families shoulders!
    To All of Kim's Family and Close Friends! Our deepest Sympathy and Heartfelt Condolences to you all...
    With Love Across the Miles ...Please help make a difference and donate even a dollar!
    "Only God Knows Why" Kim was taken so soon.
    But Gaurantee "You Never Met A MotherF***** Quite Like
    Kim's Kid Rockin Family!!!!
    Rest in Peace Kimi..
    We love you so much and miss you like crazy!
    Let your Light Shine Beautiful Girl, in All of our hearts!

    Please donate what you can. I understand times are hard for us all right now-all around the country-BUT could you imagine how hard it must be for Kim's 2 little girls to have to deal with their mom being taken from them so quick and at such a young age? The financial burden as well. Funerals are so expensive these days, not to mention the 2 little girls needs that are left behind to be cared for by their G'ma. Anything  you can spare will be greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely & Thank You,

    Terri aka RedwingT

Kelley,
It fills my heart helping to make a difference with this financial burden that was placed on the families shoulders. But I merely did the formalities! It is all of YOU who have picked up the ball and ran with it! Be it prayers, donations, kind words about Kimi. It all matters and counts, and I'm certain Kim is looking down overwhelmed with the out pour of LOVE...

Kim's Mom said something so special to me the other day, she said she has thanked God for bringing me into the families life(That brought tears to my eyes)...I said Dee... "God commanded us to LOVE one another, and to treat each other the way that we want to be treated." I'm simply following His sound advice, it makes life so much more enjoyable! : )

Kimi has been my friend for nearly a decade now, and we've never met face to face... She has been one of the few people that always seemed to appear when I needed support ...be it emotional, or just to banter with. She always shined with love and was always one of the first to chime in when I needed a friend! I have made countless friends through the internet and many of them started on a KidRock Chat thingy many many moons ago...

So it is truly my pleasure to be a part of this Fundraiser!
With Love & Light For Always,
-Alicia a.k.a Ali : )

We have had 12 donations so far and raised $605 !!! Keep it up you all, we CAN do this!! : )

From the depth of my heart, Thank you Thank you!

I believe it's come time for ole Shag To send in my Donation! :)

Hey I would pay to hear vidoe sing the phone book-lol
You name the time and place and I will be there.
PS Ace, can you sing Lonely Roadof Faith for me in Kim's memory?
Love, Val

Alicia, I know the family will appreciate all you have done.Thank you for taking the time to make it happen for them

I have to clarify, I do not in anyway shape or form think anything is wrong. PayPal was actually the company that alerted us to what was happening. From there we found out other accounts that were not protected which was our fault 100 percent. Our safety software was what was hacked. Please GIVE, I just gave a contribution and got a confirmation number. I called them, and everything is very legitimate. Believe me, I don't put my CC # out there unless I know I won't be compromised.

Miss Missy's picture

KRLO, yes it legit! It was Paypal making sure it was me!! there should be no problem. Yet because I had to make a phone call to clear this up. That is why it is in *review* Imagine how bad I felt for Alicia and this fund raising and her confusion. I do a lot of charity work, It;s all good. Short story though Haha one day I had to buy a whole bunch of stuff in one day and I said.... if my credit card does not call me by the second store. I am going to flipout I am very aware of what my finaces are and what is going on. I just couldn't understand how paypal was wording it via on-line. So the phone call starightened it out and I got all my confirmation work.

Sorry to hear what you had to go through, glad that is over for you!! Kim was a fantastic kind individual. Real pleasure to post with her!! Trust me it's all good This Chip in!!!

KRLO's picture

Missy, It sounds like PayPal is taking care of you and that is good news. and I hope it is solved. It is legit isn't it? We had a very bad experience w/ being hacked about 3 years ago. A lot of our accounts were hacked, thank God not our banking but the hackers were going for our Tax accounts. Took months to resolve. I haven't been on PayPal since, I just rejoined. We just contributed. Please tell me this is legit. I never met her, but from everyone's recounts, she was a stellar person.

Miss Missy's picture

It withdrew all funds from my paypal account. I was on the phone with them.They just noticed it was suspicious behavior on my part. haha . Yet I am so glad they are on their toes!! There should be no problem cause I told them of the circumstances, yet I am thankful for their concern also. Please let me know if it works. I'd appreciate that. It's the least I can do.

So I was teasing Video if he played those songs that is what I would donate. It was meant with good intent. Ali Sorry again for confusion. You are also doing a great thing Thank you!!

Alicia_26's picture

Missy thank you so much!

Glad PayPal looks out for its users! : )

It's still showing under Review, but hopefully it will go through this time. If not; no worries, 3rd times a charm eh!? : )

just looking to help. ill withdrawl my offer to keep it simple

Miss Missy's picture

No problem Paypal was verifying information for me and caused a reversal in payment for my protection.I probably came off looking like an ass. Yet they did the right thing I am not using my normal IP address and they wanted me to verify this was a legit donation on my part (That it was me that was doing the transaction and no a stolen/hacked account. I like that they are looking out for me :) Sorry for the confusion. It should be correct now!! and you should receive the funds momentarly. Thanks for understanding Ali!

Alicia_26's picture

Thank you all for your generous donations! We have raised $535 so far in less than 24 hours since this went up! There have been a total of 10 Donations so far....keep it going you all...please post this link Daily on your Facebook page, emails etc! Every dollar counts and is greatly Appreciated!! If we're to meet our goal we need to collect $216.66 Every Day for the next 30 days! ?

Alicia_26's picture

Missy,
I know your hearts are in the right place! : )
No need to delete your post and once again I certainly did not mean to offend or hurt anyones feelings. I myself was confused by the comments being made, so I figured a little clarity was best to put out here! : )

I hope you all are enjoying a Safe and Loving Memorial Day...xo

Miss Missy's picture

Alicia I believe Ace is just trying to encourage contributions to your chip in foundation. There was a little confusion I believe that got straightened out! Not a lot of people have pay pal accounts an such. Sorry if we strayed off subject. It was meant to keep this post at the top, and share in where are thoughts are right now, via on-line during the familys and friends loss. I will delete all my posts if you want!!

Could you give us an update on what has been raised thus far?

Alicia_26's picture

Hi Everyone!

I have read through this thread and I'm a little confused? So I wanted to clear this up right away in case anyone else was too.

There is only one Donation Fund Raiser set up via ChipIn using Paypal as the source of payment that I/we the family are associated with. ALL donations will be used to pay the funeral home directly. If we could keep this thread pertaining strictly to our intentions it will make this a simple process with less confusion.

Videoace I think your heart is in the right place, but when I commented on your idea of playing songs if we met our goal being a great idea. I wasn't aware that you were going to accept pledges etc? I certainly don't want to offend you or anyone. Giving in this time of need is a beautiful and appreciated thing. I just think keeping it simple will make this a successful fundraiser and all monies can be accounted for in the end.

With Love To You All,

-Ali

Thank you all For anything you can give. God Bless. I guarantee Kim would have been there for us.

rocksavedmysoul's picture

If everybody could just give a little, they can reach that goal easily. EVERY BIT HELPS. How about skipping a take-out lunch and packing a peanut butter sandwich. Even if you didn't really know Kim, she's our Kid Rock sister.

...before you think about yourself, think of someone else, it will make you feel...

videoace001's picture

ill add em to my playlist. and i know your just messing with me, and yes this is serious. i want to do what i can to reach this goal. this is important to me as well as many others.
all of the people that knew Kim knows that Kim would have done this for any one of us. she was more than just a kid rock fan (but she loved her some kid rock lol) she was a friend.. so lets do it! that much money shouldnt be hard at all to raise.
lets all follow kid rocks example, and give a little back.

videoace001's picture

all the money for requests will go in donations, so make the requests, and ill let ya know if i can do em.

im capable of over 500 classic rock tunes, and if i dont know em. i can learn them within 30 days. so challenge me, but its gonna cost ya lol.

videoace001's picture

i can do the elton john, and the beatles tunes for you. not sure how the diana ross would go over with my voice being a bit low for it lol. but for 100 dollars a song i will give it a shot.
im primarily a guitar player, but i will be singing also.

videoace001's picture

i did not receive your email donna

ANGELIQUE LACRISSA's picture

You guys all Rock! Every penny counts in this case and I'm hoping after the Holiday wknd this discussion will get more traffic. Btwn here and Facebook and word of mouth I think we can pull it off!

Video- you really are an ACE!! Great idea and thank you for your offering! It will be a treat to behold!

I can't take credit for anything but reposting this from Facebook to here. Ali did all the work and deserves the initial credit. She did a great job setting this all up and in very little time. She talked about it on FB and the next thing ya know a cpl hours later, it was done! Great Job Ali-

rocksavedmysoul's picture

I just put "from a congregation member" in the Paypal note. Did you want us to put our fan club names? Sorry, if I messed up. Anyway, the Paypal address in the discussion is working PKL. Just follow the link from it.

PKL's picture

mail

videoace001's picture

no im good with the music end, but ill email ya

videoace001's picture

ok. here's the deal:
if we make the mark within the 30 days. ill do it for everybody.
if we dont make the 30 days, ill do it for only those that donated (if thats possible)

@donna, i just listened to the song you requested, and yes i could do that one for you if you send the 10 dollars in a donation.

videoace001's picture

ha ha ha missy.
i con usually do at least one song from the popular classic rock bands. as long as it isnt some one hit wonder (and i may know a few of them too lol) or some obscure band. i pretty much know all the classic hits.
maybe i should charge a 10 dollar donation fee for requests. lol

@rock, if it will get any donations, even one. im willing to do it.
