Donating to a German charity

I'd like to donate a money to a charity based in Germany, but for some crazy reason, I can't pay them by Paypal.  If I try to do a cheque then it's going to get eaten by currency conversion costs.

If there's anyone in Germany reading this (actually, anyone in the Euro zone would be fine) and I know there are some of you on my flist, then I'd be happy to pay for something you want in the UK if you'll send an equal amount to my charity.  (Or I'll donate to a UK charity if there's one you support - things like Cancer Research are pretty international in their appeal)

I haven't posted about Dupuytren's in a long time, simply because my hand has been stable ever since it was treated,  That would not have happened with out Dupuytren eV.

Let me be your Personal Penguin

I fell in love with Jeeves and Wooster earlier this year, having somehow managed to miss this wonderful show up until this time.  Here's a song vid that requires no knowledge of the show at all, but is still pleasant to watch.

Fans of 'House MD' who haven't seen Bertie Wooster may be in for a mental shock...

Donation problem solved.

My thanks to [livejournal.com profile] nwhyte for his offer to help, but I've (slightly to my amazement) managed to persuade the Dupuytren Society to add a Paypal button to their web site.

There's no incentive like saying "I'll send you x Euros, if you can get Paypal to work on your site in English".

So, I've just sent them x Euros.  Without the advice of the Dupuytren Society, I would never have sought out radiation therapy for my right hand.  The hand is as good as it was the day it was treated and I've never looked back.

I have a book that no one else has.

I picked up a book while on the canals that no one else on Library Thing owns!

Mind you, it's not nearly as interesting as I'd hoped.  It needed a good editor, but canal biographies are probably a small market.
