Lynn BroaddusBackerAndrew, my family has deep roots on the Elk River, and I'm deeply involved in water issues. I'll see if I can't nudge some of them into supporting this too. Thank you.Feb 03, 20140- Andrew J. Whelton, Ph.D.ResearcherThank you Lynn. And, I'm sure the residents of West Virginia will thank you too if we can get the needed donations to return. We need to eclipse $10,000 for the project to be official, and are actually seeking quite a bit more because of the sheer scope that's needed. As you know, this is a tax deductible donation. If your friends, etc. or any organizations that you know of wish to donate, all funds will go towards enabling us to help test drinking inside affected residences. Sincerely, Andy & TeamFeb 04, 20140

- Andrew J. Whelton, Ph.D.ResearcherJohn, Thank you for your support. We are committed to helping those affected and as many people have said to us, "please don't forget us." We will not. There are many questions that remain about chemical drinking water quality inside plumbing systems. Through this drinking water analysis project we hope to answer those questions. If you know of any people or organizations that wish to donate (it will be through a 501c-3, tax deductible) please pass the word. Thank you for your donation and we are here for the duration to provide assistance. - Sincerely, Andy & TeamJan 30, 20140

- Andrew J. Whelton, Ph.D.ResearcherHi James, Thank you SO much for backing our ability to help. Email me at ajwhelton@southalabama. We can discuss your water samples through email. Again, thank you so much. We really want to help through longer-term in-home drinking water sampling. -Sincerely, Andy & TeamJan 30, 20140
- Frank LittonBackerWe'll put the link out to help get you funded. Frank and Jessica LittonJan 26, 20141
- Andrew J. Whelton, Ph.D.ResearcherThank you so much Frank and Jessica.This is a tax-deductible donation (501c-3) through Microryza to the University of South Alabama. The University is allowing us to use all of the funding to help residents conduct longer-term drinking water sampling. I believe it's these types of applications public funding sites can truly help others. We hope we exceed our goal because there simply is so great a need. -Sincerely, Andy & TeamJan 30, 20140
