The Front Porch : Please Help Keep The Community Alive

[Destee]

Peace and Blessings Family,

destee.com is more than 10 years old, providing a positive environment for Black People on the Internet. Everyone has always been allowed to participate at no cost, because we believe our communing together is important, and should not be limited to those who help financially.

Unfortunately, providing free services to the vast majority, costs money. It's a great challenge, with me struggling to keep us alive, and i need your help. As with every other aspect of this community, it takes the collective to make it a success, as no one of us can do this alone.

Please Become a Premium Member, or make a donation, to help support the community.

If you are a site owner (or know some), consider advertising with us. We have low rates and millions of page views monthly.

We do risk becoming another Black web site that has died. While it's heartbreaking to imagine, it's not yet been our reality.

Please help us avoid this end.

Much Love and Peace



Destee

There Now Then, and Forever

Hello Destee..

I know I am paid up until next year, but I will send you a payment this month to put me into 2009.

If you think it's a good idea, put our paid up date out where we can see it. I asked you about my payment because I forget sometimes....

I never hesitated Destee when the idea was suggested. We knew then there would those who would see the benefit of support and how it would help expand the site we so frequently visit post and care about.

I put mine down as a donation and claim it every year on my taxes. Up to $300 dollars can be done without question. To those who feel they want to support the site do this.

( p.s.... don't make Destee ask you again )

Give as you can, and give more as you grow!

Have a good holiday season Destee. The lord will provide, and Hodee will do what he can.

You know I was thinking the other day.. if the site was gone.. what about my post.. it was sheer terror to even consider that Destee!

What's up bruh? LTNS. Glad to see you on the forum again.

I didn't know we could claim the Premium Membership fee as a deduction on our taxes. Shoooo. Guess who's getting a donation from the money man.

GLAD TO BE ALIVE AND ABLE TO VISIT HERE

Hey Money!


Good to be able to come back to a place I hope remains here forever.

Since 2003 I have been writing this off along with all donations I make to goodwill and everyone else. Many people write off the donations they give to Church. I don’t. I write this one off.

Keep supporting the cause... You are a GOOD MAN... along with countless others. That has always been seen by me clearly. Nothing not even parking comes free.

In July 2003 I was introduced to Destee, from someone a sister, I knew on BET.

Who couldn’t separate herself long enough from the struggle ( when and who to fight ) and I loved struggling with her on BET.

Got herself Banned over here. That is how I found Destee. Battling the elements over there.

She found Destee introduced me and told me about a wonderful place where the people ( us ) our people didn’t suffer the same hatred ) ... I rushed over man.

I was tired of the racist rants, and bigoted hatred allowed over there. Well for me it was a transition time and year. August 2003 to December 2005 I didn’t make a single red cent in income!..

Remby I love her. I love you Remby... you held me and my sanity together.

She and I spent every day all day in chat.

While I LOOKED AT A PHONE THAT NEVER RANG. At least from no employers, just bill collectors.

Talking about hurting.

In California with a house, two kids and a dog to feed. Not to mention the lights and cars to maintain and on and on...

Ow it still hurts!

I came to Destee's site and found growth and inspiration in many things and the people posting here. I was tight and near broke yet I didn’t hesitate to donate because ……

Destee ( the site) is infectious. Really contagious and grows in the heart, of the beat down, lost and battered souls.

Our Destee… ( The beautiful woman maintaining this ship. ) is just as communicable.

I saw it right away. And I still see this and ( I still pray and wish to this day) hope one day soon it comes to pass.

I hope Destee the site and our Destee grows so large, financially, and this site keeps up with the latest applications that Destee can keep introducing here for us to use as they come out. And as they are designed for communicating over the Internet... like You Tube. that newspapers are commenting. Reporters want to know the woman, and the people behind the scenes.

Although I was down with no extra income. I ( GIVE ) gave ( when first mentioned no hesitation ) because I want Destee the woman to not have to pay out of pocket to buy new and upgrade severs, pay the electric bill to maintain my work. I want the site here for all others who can’t find the heart to go on because there seems to no place in America where love can be found! When common friendship lends it’s self like this place does. I have seen turn arounds of hopeless incidents and situations. Times where we pulled each other from DARKNESS here on this site. Why. How? Because Destee the WOMAN... and this site was here.

I love all of you Destee people, and I love some more than I do others because love has levels. But show some support… I know you see something... it may not be as clear to you as it is to me. I just pray this I am thankful Destee is here.

DESTEE
Sincerely ME!

we love this space because we all know that Destee is sitting all stunned and crying and thangs as she reads this. And nothing but the unvarnished HeartTruth in these words.

But that is all your fault you Wonderfulness You! This is YOUR Dream! Your Heart! Our Hearth!!

Thank You for Sharing Your Dream with us thereby allowing/enabling/encouraging us to build a Community Worthy of being kept alive (freudian fingers: wanted to bring "alove")!!
