{{cquote|The ideal of an open and free internet, used for improving knowledge of all types is worth supporting. Though the past three years have been very difficult for my family, including surviving breast cancer and losing our company, I am happy to contribute to Wikipedia. I only wish I did have a corporate matching gift. |

So many organizations ask for funding, but all seem to have some agenda. Not one makes the broad contribution that Wikipedia does. I never realized until today that the Foundation existed through donations. The site has been a "go to" for us whenever we want to know facts or data about anything we can imagine. It's just always there. Now I hope my small contribution helps to keep it that way. Thanks. }} |

{{cquote|What does Wikipedia mean to me?... A lot. So much that my words fail me; I feel like my English isn't good enough to express my feelings. Putting aside the fact that I've used it countless times to find material for both my (many) hobbies and my university studies, sometimes even losing myself in an ocean of fascinating information, Wikipedia represents for me the human struggle to surpass our limitations... by starting from the limitations of our knowledge, which is the basis of everything that actually makes us human. |
