Last Push!

Thren at work to help raise funds!

Aloha!  We’re nearing the end of Threnody’s fundraiser for La Pietra; many many thanks to all of you who have helped out in so many ways.
The deadline is approaching quickly, so if you've been thinking about helping out, now is the time.

We are extremely close to our goal - we have just over $2500* to go to be funded for Thren!
*This means over $14,500 has been raised through financial aid and donations - and we have some very kind offers for help with next year!  Amazing.
(What you see above is all that is left to cover.)

If you’ve been thinking about donating, or aren’t sure how to do so/if there are other ways to help, we’ve outlined some of those below.  We've also added a new option: shopping to help out!

I cannot explain how genuinely excited and happy she is, we’ll be posting some updates to the blog site from her perspective soon.  It’s nice to see her so inspired and excited about things.

1. NEW: Shop to help!

To help reach our goal, I’m offering a sale in my Etsy shop you can find that link here.
Use the code LAPIETRA at checkout for free shipping worldwide!  All proceeds will go directly towards her tuition and related school costs.  If there’s something you’d like in a different format or style, just let me know!

I will be adding new items to the shop this weekend and early next week - so save the code and check back soon if you don’t see anything to your liking just yet!  (The code will be valid until June 3rd.)

2. Direct Donations

If you’d like to donate directly, that link can be found right here, just scroll down and look to the left for the yellow donate button. (There are also other donation methods, which can be found here - look below the white chart.)

3. Make Some Noise!
If you think someone might be interested in donating, feel free to pass along this information.  This is the final stretch!

Our Young Entrepreneur and Altruist

This process has really been inspirational for Threnody - she has some interesting work and volunteer projects lined up for the summer, and has a renewed interest in making a difference, and she is very excited about her upcoming academic year.

(She’s also been fundraising herself to help cover the cost of her uniforms and books.)


Again, many, many thanks for all the love and support!

Here's a happy, muddy puppy pic:
