| WE DID IT!!! »
I send big sloppy kisses to you ALL
You guys. We are going to completely clear this bill for her. In 48 hours we raised $320 of the $454 bill, and I don't doubt for one second that we'll cover the entire thing.
I really want to thank you all, those of you who have donated already and those of you who still plan to donate. There was not a lot of joy for me in paying the bill over the year because I knew it was really a very very SMALL thing compared to what they were going through. I knew I was helping, but I wasn't going to make the problem go away, and that can leave you feeling very helpless.
But what we are doing now is giving her a fresh new start. And that makes me SO HAPPY that I have done this and that you all ACTUALLY HELPED ME DO IT!!!! For me, this was the best part of the entire good deed, getting you all to participate. I truly hope that you all feel just as good inside as I do.
Tomorrow I will send out a check to the Utility Company to cover what I've received through Paypal so far ($190!) and the rest of the donations were sent directly to the utility company by you. I am also going to send Karen a card letting her know what you all have done.
You have all done such a wonderful thing, I don't even know how to thank you. I get choked up with every notice I receive about the donations. I just want to say Thanks for being a part of this.

You're quite welcome. And thanks for letting us know about this need. I like to donate when I KNOW the money goes straight to the people who need it most, and not to overhead or advertising or something like that.
My check went out on Saturday straight to the utility company.
