Birthday Project Update--we have now passed $6,300 with one day to go!

Unread post by part-time poet » Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:37 pm

Here's a quick update on our 2012 Birthday Project fundraising . . .

the Zone has now received more than $6,300 in donations for Project Pueblo!


That's wonderful! :loveshower: Thank you so much to all our donors. :bouquet:

We have now collected enough money to provide water systems for four Navajo families (cost approximately $1,500), and we need only $500 more to match our donation total from last year! Or $700 to reach a nice round number for Project Pueblo--a lovely $7,000. Can you help us reach that goal by tomorrow night?

:worldhug: and :highfive: to everyone who has contributed to this project. You are a great inspiration, showing what we can do when we work together.

Johnny's birthday is tomorrow--let's see how much we can do for the Navajo people as his birthday gift.

So now I will begin biting my fingernails. So close!! I swear this is as if we were sitting in a room passing a hat. We can do it!

Every single dollar makes an enormous difference when we're close like this. Wow!

I am so pleased to be able to donate to this worthy cause. The Native American people have been so mistreated, disrespected and--even worse-- ignored. Most non-Indian Americans are not even remotely aware of the living conditions (and I use the term loosely) our country's original inhabitants are subjected to. It is this country's greatest shame that we have treated these people so poorly--and, what's the biggest crime, CONTINUE to do so!!

Thank you so much for choosing such a worthy charity. I am so grateful that I am presently in a position to be able to help out a little. I'm pushing for a total exceeding $7500--that would pay for FIVE water systems!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Johnny!! :happybday:
