Jessi and James found each other randomly on a photo-sharing website, Flickr.com, back in November of 2006. They started out as friends, chatting online in Flickr communities and through IM. After several months they began talking on the phone as well. Somewhere along the way they fell in love. Neither one was 'looking for love' or could tell you when or how it happened. But, thankfully, it did. One major obstacle to their romance is the 1400 miles separating them. And to further complicate things, Jessi lives in Canada, James in the US. Nobody said love was simple.James recently took a two week vacation to go to Canada and meet Jessi face to face. Things went wonderfully. Now that they truly know what they are missing, being apart is that much more difficult and painful. Friends suggest they try chipin.com to raise money to get Jessi to Kansas. Initially it will just be for a two week visit, but the long-term goal is to move her there so they can be together. They need money for plane tickets, visas, and moving expenses.Anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated. More than they could possibly put into words. Thank you in advance for your support.

im a romantic, but this is the 5th such mail ive had/post on a blogger site about people wanting donations. Call me fickle, but maybe i should set up my own donations page. There's a pair of manalos that I quite fancy but would never buy. I give my cash freely but I'm beginning to see a pattern and thinking im a mug. Hmm. Maybe i'll just hang onto my romantic views for the time being and go with it. Just for another day. Lovely story though.
I hear ya smelly... but I have followed the photographical evidence of these two and can say that this is the "real deal" ....so go give em a fiver innit... that said, I may as well take a few shots of me and my "long lost friend" and start a "get us back together fund"... would you give me a fiver? would you...
