Great News!

(Geek side note:  I still can't type anything like that w/o hearing the Professor's voice from Futurama...)

We *do* have good news though:  We passed the 4G mark!    Thanks again to everyone who is donating and/or putting the word out there - it means a lot. 

We said yes to the school, so we're in the home stretch. 
Keep sending all the good luck you can; it's definitely working!

We made the halfway point!

Many thanks to all who have helped - we made it to the halfway point already!

Our goal is to raise the final 'homestretch' of 3550 by June 1st.  For those who have helped already, by donating and spreading the word - thank you!  To all those who would like to help - there's still plenty of time.  You can donate now using the Paypal button to the right, or you can email us and we can make an arrangement if you'd like to donate something later in April or May.

Again, our thanks, and keep spreading the word!  We're so grateful, and this has really meant the world to Thren to see the encouragement from near and far.

(She'd also like me to add a suggestion to donate here if you've been stymied as to what to get her for her birthday or Christmas, Yule, etc.  Think of it as a year-round gift!)

Mahalo nui loa!

P.S.  We also have a facebook page - 'like' it to get the latest updates and alerts! 
(Or just check back here.)

We're getting close to halfway!!!

Thank you all so much!  If we can keep forwarding the information/passing it along (tweeting, facebook, etc.) I think we can keep the momentum going.

I realize the two different donation sites can be confusing: ChipIn doesn't allow me to add in  contributions outside of the ChipIn site.  To avoid confusing things (and having two different running totals) I've removed that link here, now just click the yellow button to the left to help out. (And thank you!)

The red thermometer found to the right will be the most accurate running total count - we'll update it at least 2x per day.

So if you'd like to contribute, here's a revised summary how:

1. Use Paypal directly, click the link above or the  yellow 'Donate' button found to the right. (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 us with the amount you would like to pledge and the date you would like to 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:

Brie Ericksson, Executive Assistant

(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.)

P.S. You can still access the ChipIn site here if you wish.
