A huge thank you to all my donors! I have raised just under 1/3 of my $7,500.00 total, most of it offline. I am grateful for each and every dollar that was donated, whether online or offline. Just $5,002.68 yet to go.

I was hoping to have my bills caught up by the end of September. That priority has now shifted. The urgent total needed is still $2,902.00, but how it will be distributed has changed. Travel expenses of $400.00 remain unchanged.

The remaining $2,502.00 needed ASAP, and originally designated for September bills, will now have to be used to cover October's rent, groceries & early-month expenses. Approximate due dates are listed by each item.

$400.00 Travel Reserve still needed, due October 1 (paid in full)

$500.00 My share of October's rent, due October 1 (paid in full)

$450.00 My son's share of October's rent, due October 1 (paid in full)

$50.00 Monthly Expense due by October 1 (paid in full)

$200.00 Groceries at home, needed by October 5 (paid in full)

$600.00 Monthly Expenses due by October 10 ($305.00 still needed)

$355.00 Outstanding Medical Bill, needed by October 20

$147.00 Balance of Groceries at home, needed by October 20

$200.00 Balance of Monthly Expenses due after October 20

Plus I still need to cover these items on or after October 20:

$500.00 Groceries for Mom

$1,494.00 Reserve for this platform's program fees (estimated)

At this point, any funding in excess of my requested total will first go toward the $1,800.00 of September bills that are getting pushed back. I also still plan to use part of the excess funds to help Mom with her expenses.

I am hopeful that everything will work out.
