First, I want to say Thank You! to my anonymous donor. Your contribution is enough to show my campaign in the public listings. This is a HUGE step forward for me, and I am truly grateful.

I am also grateful for all of my off-line donors. Every bit helps, and the cumulative "bits" now total almost 1/3 of my goal amount. Your donations are truly appreciated. Thank you all!

I am also grateful for anyone who is willing to help promote my campaign, and get me funded faster. This is the first time I have used a platform like this, so I'm learning by trial and error. I welcome any hints from experienced fundraisers or donors on this platform that will help me achieve my goal.

I am very hopeful that I will make this goal. Anything above my target will apply to extra grocery money for my mom and to the October rent & expenses for my son & I.
