That Golden 100%

I was looking at my fundraiser page yesterday, and wondering if that $3000 mark would be achieved before the deadline. There was a bit of doubt and anxiety, but I told myself that God would make it happen. Not long after, my cousin from the USA made a donation, and I was touched, especially since this was a cousin whom I never had the chance to see in person. As I laid down on my bed later at night, I sent a small prayer that more people should come forward to make the remaining $300 a reality.
I woke up in the middle of the night, and noticed my phone blinking. When I saw the notification, my heart stilled for a moment before I woke up proper. A kind and generous soul - someone whom I do not know personally - had made the full contribution of $300, helping to pull the fundraiser up to reach the "100% funded" goal.
That golden 100% which I saw on my fundraising page was overwhelming for all the good reasons, and I was literally jumping around in excitement and happiness.
Thank you to that anonymous donator, and to everyone else who have thus far contributed and supported this fundraiser. The $3000 wouldn't have been possible without all of you, and may God bless everyone of you for helping these underprivileged children.
That being said, there are still 2 days left for the fundraiser to come to an end. Please do continue supporting and spreading the word about this fundraiser! Thank you all!
Lots and Lots of Love,
Riz
