Well, that was fast!
A big thank you to the generous people who gave so much so quickly: the campaign reached its goal in 2 days! In fact, in less than 3 days, people gave $413, which is over $100 more than the goal. I'm already working on a plan for the extra money.
I am always amazed and impressed with the generosity of people. It's what brings us together, and that sharing is what "prepares the way" for the Christmas experience. Even more special than the valuable goods that are exchanged is the relationship that grows between the people involved.
To that end, I hope you tune in for the updates. I'll be sending out followup post as things unfold, likely after Christmas. You can also continue to check in on followups here

Things are very busy here and I’ll post some updates on other activities when I can.
Thank you again, and best wishes for continued Christmas blessings,
