[update] all y'all are getting pizza trophies if I have to bake them myself
Talked to Sabrina about an hour ago.
Paypal, local and mailed donations: $2004.13.
Auction bids: $3321.
Y'all have raised $5525.13 to help save Dave since last Tuesday.
78.9% of goal, with nearly a week to go before we pull the Big Reveal and let him know that All Is Not Lost, that he and Abe and the cats and the party get to stay right where they belong. Yes, there will be video cameras. Yes, we will post the video so all of you can see the reveal, and hnmic and I will take lots of pictures of the house and land for you to see the place you've saved by offering your time, your energy, your pretties, and your cash.
This is usually the part where I slather you with effusive praise - and you deserve every bit of it! People who band together to raise over five grand in six days so a dude they don't even know doesn't lose his house deserve all the praise and then some. Consider yourself so slathered. Everything I've already said about you - your generosity, your great spirit, your loving heart, your awesome superhero tendencies - remains the truth, uncontroverted.
If you missed it, don't forget that there's a repostable text box up containing a signal-boost, encouraging people to bid in the auction and providing links to Dave's story, information on how to donate, and many of the categories of items we have available. Feel free to make use of it (on or off LJ, all the links are HTML) if you want to stir up a little more mischief. The auction is continuing through mid-November, but the majority of the items end on Halloween and the Monday following it.
Thank you so much for what you do. Thank you for being fractional miracle-workers.
