We did it, $10,500!

Thanks to a nice donation that just came in, we have achieved our first phase goal! 
I can't tell you how grateful we are to everyone who's contributed, most of you people who I have never met or haven't spoken to in a long time.  I don't know exactly how long the money will last as we will have a better idea this week after a couple of meetings...

No matter, I can sleep better at night knowing that Nicole will at least have a shot at regaining some dignity and self reliance. 

By the way, if you haven't donated and would like to do so still, thanks in advance!  The $10,000 goal was an arbitrary number I created as we had to start somewhere...  The reality is $10,000 will probably pay for only 2-3 months.  We have a ways to go...

Please stay tuned or enter your email address (if you wish) in the box above the donate icon so you can receive updates without having to manually check.  Hopefully by this time next year, Nicole's life will be much much better.

If you have any ideas as to how to raise more money, I am open to any and all ideas.  I was talking to a buddy today and he mentioned trying to get this to people like Ellen or Oprah or the like.  I see stories like this on TV all the time (some nowhere near as bad) so who knows... 

In any event, thanks again so very much.

  1. Have you considered doing a holiday Cheesecake fundraiser? There is a shop in St. Clair Shores (The Cheesecake Shoppe) and for every cheesecake you sell, you get $5.00. My animal rescue sells about a $1000 worth each holiday and if you can get 10-20 people to help sell cheesecakes, it's easy money. If you'd like more details, you can message me @ ffarboard@gmail.com - my name is Denise. Good luck and god bless.
