Let’s Have A Party!

Almost every night I sit down at our computer, pull out my decorative paper, tape, heart washi tape and key fobs and begin addressing and packaging key fobs to mail out the next day to say ‘thank you’ to all of you who have donated to our heart fund in honor of Amon.  When I set the goal of $5k I honestly didn’t think it through and afterwards I realized it was a really lofty goal, but I figured, what the hey, we’ll give it a go.

Tonight when I sat down to start my little nightly routine, I checked our team page and I was floored.

Floored people.  Absolutely floored.  And yes, I did google ‘negate’ to make sure I was spelling it correctly 🙂

 I sit here tonight just completely humbled and honored.  I’m crazy grateful to everyone who has donated.  You guys are stellar!  Thank you for stepping out in honor of Amon and heart research and the many people and kids and families who have been directly impacted.  You are making a difference and it is an honor to experience.

I get an email every time one of you donates.  It never says the amount.  Sometimes it doesn’t say a name at all.  For all you anonymous people out there…thank you!  I wish I could send you a reply email and tell you so in a more personal way.  And for the people today that pushed us over our goal and then some…gosh, I just like you…like a lot…like a whole lot.  You amaze me.

We still have a month to go.  I’m still ready to mail out more key fobs.  So if you would like to join us in this fundraising effort there is still plenty of time to donate.  You can go to our personal fundraising page HERE and make your donation.  If you make a donation of $15 or more, I will happily mail you a key fob as a small thank you for your generosity.  Please do not forget to GO HERE and send me your mailing address after you make your donation.  I do not have access to your personal information, so I do not know your address.  Dang security and protecting your identity 🙂

Thank you again so much.  Humbled, honored, amazed, grateful, dumbfounded and all of those great kinds of words…this is how I feel.  This has been a really great Friday.  Thank you so much…from our hearts, to yours.
