Aloha!
This entry has been created to help clarify what is due when for La Pietra.
We are well over halfway there - but still have a gap of $7100.00 to cover.
We must let the school know by April 5th if we intend to enroll her there, and a deposit must be paid by April 15th. The remaining balance is due by June 1st. (Giving me time to transfer it over and send the payment in to the school before the deadline.)
Thus, we don’t need the total amount by April 15th, but what we do need as soon as possible is at least $500.00 for the deposit, and solid pledges of support for the remaining $6600. (Those pledges would be due by June 1st.)
For those who might be more graphics-inclined:
If it’s easiest to pay now - feel free to use the ChipIn button to do so - and many thanks!
If you cannot make a payment now, but you can make a definite pledge for a specific amount by June first - please email us [lapietra4threnody@gmail.com]; we can set up a Paypal payment reminder for you that will be due by whatever date works for you before June first.
Again, many thanks for reading this, and for any support you can give! If you cannot definitely pledge a certain amount - no problem, we completely understand.
But if you can commit to a certain amount by a certain date before 6/01, let us know as soon as possible - that way we can update the overall total needed, and make an assessment about whether or not she can attend there.
Summary - ways to donate
1. Easiest - use Paypal directly. Just click the yellow 'Donate' button found on the top right of the page. (You may donate any amount you wish.) We will update the total amount raised manually as soon as possible.
2. If you would like to make a pledge now for a specific amount (again, any amount is fine) to be paid by June 1st, email lapietra4threnody@gmail.com with the amount you would like to pledge and the date you can pay it by. We will send you a Paypal payment reminder when the due date approaches.
3. If you would like to make a donation of 500.00 or above directly to the school, contact:

(If you could let us know the amount sent to the school, that would be helpful so we can update the total amount raised. If you would like to remain anonymous, that can also be arranged.)
4. Thank you! (It bears repeating - we are truly grateful for any help and support.)
Mahalo nui loa
Whether payments are made to the school directly, though a pledge, or paid via ChipIn, we’ll keep a running tally of the total raised *and* keep you updated on her progress as each deadline passes using both this blog and the ChipIn site.
(You might want to bookmark this page or sign up for RSS feeds if you would like to check in on our progress.)
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions and thank you!
*Refund note: We’re optimistic about reaching our goal, and think it’s definitely possible - but in case we cannot reach that goal we’ll refund the donations as soon as we can after the final decision has been made. (There's no risk involved - if we make the goal, it all goes to her schooling; if not, it is refunded to you.)
