131. I finally woke up and went to your page to make a donation.

Thu Nov 20, 2014, 09:20 PM

Nov 2014

I always want my donations to be anonymous, but I don't know how to make that happen without making them entirely invisible.

I click the button to hide it from everyone but the organizer of the page, but that seems to make the donation not get added to the total shown at the top of the page.

What I would like is for my name to not show--i.e., for my donation amount to be shown on the page as being from "Anonymous"--but for the actual donation and message to show on that page (to encourage others coming to the site to make a donation), and for the donation to be added to the total at the top of the page.

How does one do that?

On Edit: The reason I think my donation is not added to the top total when I click the "hide" button is that the top total stayed exactly the same after I made my donation.
