We did it! We met my hurricane relief fundraising goal! If you look at the banner in the right hand margin, you'll see that (thanks to Jason, Sarah, AliCarmen, and six new anonymous donors) we've now exceeded the $1,000 Bottom Line goal! This is so amazing. It's also great that the larger project is over three quarters of the way to its $5,000,000 goal after only 13 days. I hope that the money will get to where it's needed quickly. I'll leave the fundraising page and banner up for a while longer, but I won't bug you about it anymore. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, for all of your support--everything from words of encouragement to money donations. You guys are the best.
