See, that wasn't too hard was it! Your family of friends responed. I am truly glad it all worked out. We all feel good about helping and more important the kids get to go on the trip. Thanks to you Epiph, this wouldn't have happened for them. Congrats.
Yeah - take lots of pictures! Can't imagine a more worthwhile cause when someone as dedicated as you is involved in it for the kids' sake. Use any leftover funds to do something nice for them. Takes a village.
I'm glad to see you made your goal. I hope you and the kids have a great time.
You're amazing.
Yay! :)
We were all more than happy to help.

Thank you for helping me be able to say "I did my good deed for the year" and not be lying.
Seriously -- happy to help.
A little late to the party but I figure you guys can use what little I sent in as well.
