Laptop Update: A Major Setback

As you know, nearly two weeks ago my laptop died. As a result, my ability to post has been severely restricted, thus the delay in my posts.

It was suggested that I let my readers know of our need for a new one. I did so.

Major bloggers came along side to support us and your willingness to contribute to the purchase of a new laptop has been overwhelming.

I thought I would be announcing our success at finally reaching our goal of $2000, a few days ago.

In my last post I announced I had $1810 for the laptop. As a result, I received an additional $190 dollars in gifts.

So we should be celebrating right? No!

Well, in my enthusiasm to bring the campaign to a close I included in the $1810 total, a $500 gift promised by a wonderful supporter of our efforts that was to arrive in the mail. When the check finally arrived yesterday, it was for $100. I believe this persons desire to help was larger than their checkbook. I understand. My mistake was including $500 in the earlier total before it arrived.

Unfortunately, we are now $400 from our goal. I apologize. The purchase of the new lap top has been delayed further.

Thank you for all for your support.
