From just the checks people have told me about so far, we definitely have over $50 at the minimum. I can't wait to see the grand total. This is FABULOSOOOO!
I am so proud of everyone. Just so you all know, the site will remain up for a bit in case you still would like to contribue. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
New total of $2270!!!! Suzette got a call from HS today and they received $260 in checks so far. Awesome! Dave just updated the FG site to reflect this.
I made a small donation last night. It was already on my todo list but I wasn't sure it was set up to take out of country donations but after listening to Kevin on the podcast I thought I'd try it and I was thrilled that it took my money!

Applemomma, thank you for your donation. I would just like to say that you described the DIS community beautifully. I could not have done it better myself!

I think it's because it's a family that was "chosen". all of us have decided to bond together in this way. No matter what brought us all here in the first place, we've decided to stay and the family has grown and grown.
