Improper Request for Donations — McStay Family Website
Posted on 16. Mar, 2010 by smckinney in Featured Articles
03/16/10 — It has come to the attention of Texas EquuSearch that donations are being solicited on the McStay Family Website for travel and lodging for Texas EquuSearch, among other things. Texas EquuSearch paid all travel expenses, hotel bills, food and any other expenses that were associated with the search. No monies have been received from any donations made for the search for the McStay Family through their website. We did receive a $100.00 donation prior to the search through our Website. The proper way to make donations to Texas EquuSearch is (i) through our Website, or (ii) by check sent to our office. Unfortunately, if you have made a donation through the McStay Family Website intended for Texas EquuSearch, you will not receive a tax donation for said donation. While we appreciate all donations and requests for donations, they must be made in the proper manner.

When making a donation through PayPal, enter the amount of your donation, then you MUST CLICK "UPDATE TOTAL" at the bottom right-hand corner of the simulated check before proceeding with donation. Your donation to Texas EquuSearch will be used for search missions, equipment, fuel, food, lodging for the Search Coordinators and expenses associated with the operation of our Mobile Command Center. Additionally, donations will be used for our day-to-day operating expenses. Thank you for your support of Texas EquuSearch on behalf of all the families who need our assistance.
