As a side note, I did send $20 to their PayPal account, more or less as a test to see how contributions would be handled. I never received an acknowledgement from anyone at Global 24, let alone a "thank you". Furthermore, when I received my receipt from PayPal, it showed that the money went into the individual account of one Jeff Demers. I have to say that I found all that a bit unusual and more than a little sloppy.
