Calling all blog savvy pro's & anyone else who can help

It's been requested{I won't name names{MISTY} =)} that I update my money ticker over on our IVF blog. The obstacle I'm having difficulty with is I don't know jack about adding widgets to my blog!! There, I said it, I am not as computer savvy as you may have thought. ;) The real deal is a few people have donated via check or cash{which is perfectly acceptable} however, those donations come to me and then I deposit into our bank account and they are not visable on the ticker. Only the donations made through the c.hip.in ticker show up on said ticker. I added a simple payp.al donate button and I have been looking for a money counter/tracker widget doohickie that I can manually add amounts to after receiving donations whether it be cash, check, or charge{then I could remove the c.hip.in one from my blog}.....I have not found any such thing, nor do I know if something like that even exists. I'd create my own widget doohickie, but that brings me back to square one of not knowing jack about doing that sort of thing!!!

Any help, suggestions or feedback would be
