Thanks for the update PtP. So glad to hear we've hit the $2000 mark but I'm sure we can do much better by the time 9th June arrives

Dreams really do come true!

Good so far; but more to go.

I have nothing to do and all day to do it in.

Wow, that's EXCELLENT news!

I'm SO glad to be a part of it recently and helped in some way reach that mark. Let's keep it going.

Congratulations to everyone, thank you PtP for the good news. I'm impressed by the amount raised in such a short amount of time and we still have just under two weeks to increase it to so much more.
As you say it doesn't take a huge donation to make such a large difference to what can be done in Haiti, it makes you realise just how well off we are and maybe take so much for granted.

Just checking--when does this year's birthday project close?
(Budget is tight, but payday is coming soon!)
This is a special opportunity to honor Johnny, and help those who have such a great need. Thanks to everyone involved in coordinating this effort.

Many thanks to those who have donated to the Birthday Project over the weekend . . . if you have just gotten paid and sent a bit of your paycheck to help Save the Children in Haiti, bless you!
