For Ely
You guys are amazing! Seriously, seriously amazing. You have raised $415 for Children's Hospital! Thank you everyone, for being so generous! &hearts &hearts &hearts I have a few avenues to pursue locally to bring the donation up to $500 even, so the official donation amount will be $500. Yay!!
I'm using the donation page for Children's Hospital of Cincinnati to make the donation, and because it is designed for credit cards I'll use my personal card to make the donation and then move the money in PayPal to reimburse my account*. I am going to fill in the comments box under "additional information" to say this gift is from the friends of Ely (though her real name, obviously), and mark it as a tribute in memory of Ely. If anyone thinks I should write anything different, please let me know! I had a moment of utter fail this morning and forgot my wallet at home, so this won't happen until tomorrow - there's still time! :)
I just want to say thank you again to everyone who took the time to comment, call, email, donate, and silently sent good wishes to those of us who have been struck so deeply by Ely's passing. I know it has meant a great deal to me personally, so I imagine others have felt the same. Nothing is going to make the loss of our friend better, but having others around to help share the grief has helped. &hearts
In order to make this as transparent as possible re: potential fraud, I'll happily provide copies of transaction forms/pages to those who donated who wish to see them.
