Funds put to use!

Update posted by Sp3aK Motovlogs

Alright! So I thought I would post an update to let you know that a decision has been made on how to utilize the first funds that came in. But lets discuss the fees involved so you can see exactly where we stand and what we have to work with.

As you can see from the main page a generous donation of $30 came in, thank you so much! The day the donation came in it was sent to my PayPal account. PayPal automatically took a fee of $1.17 when the donation came in (see below).

Next, a fee of $1.20 was sent to GoGetFunding which was paid with the PayPal balance (see below).

That left us with $27.63 to work with. So what to do what to do? I happened to stop by and see our friend Alan the other day as I had a jacket with me in my car for several days and I wanted to give it to him. While I was talking with him I asked him if there was something he could really use that would help him out and he said a pair of boots. What a great idea!!! This whole idea came about from my interactions with Alan and I thought it would be nice to use the first fruits of this campaign to give him something he really needs.

So to make that happen I moved the money out of PayPal and into my account which you can see below.


Cool, so now what? Well now we order the boots! I picked some out from Amazon, they will arrive on 10/25/17 and I'm hoping that within a day or so I will see Alan and be able to give them to him. For that I will be sure to post a video. Now the boots cost a little more than what was donated but that's just fine. I used the money that was donated plus a little of my own to pick up an Amazon gift card and get them on the way!

And as a bonus a friend of mine is getting a pack of socks to also give to Alan. Hopefully we can have him set up real nice as we move in to winter.
