Regardless of good intentions the Usenet is not a place where on should
be canvasing for donations. 

(I'm sorry for posting this but every once in a while it seems people 
 need to be reminded that canvasing for personal causes is not a
 proper use of the net.)

Perhaps from your received funds you can pay us for the disk space and 
phone cost used for your article.

Your article has been deleted from our system. Had you not asked for 
money but rather provided a simple address where people could contact
you if they decided they wanted to support you financially then your
article would have remained on our system.
