Almost there!
Update 3/23/06!
Thanks you all of you, I'm getting closer and closer to my 'required' goal every minute! I need to raise about $175 more to ensure my spot on the trip! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you all for your support! It really means a lot to me! :)
Clandestine's Big Announcement!
I've been particularly excited to make this announcement here because I know how strongly a lot of my blogging friends felt about the damage done by the hurricane and how much we all wanted to help. A lot of people have forgotten all about the devastation, but I know YOU haven't. Even if you can't help financially, I want you all to know how excited I am for this opportunity and how much I appreciate the support I know I'll receive from my blogging friends!
In May, I will be travelling to Louisiana with Habitat for Humanity. I will be building houses alongside people who lost their homes in Hurricane Katrina. I am excited to be able to help people who have been waiting so long for their homes to be rebuilt!
I can't do this without your help, though!
The people who will benefit from my trip are people who lost their homes in the hurricanes. Even now, so many months later, many people are living in tents and trailers, other states and in hotels, because their homes are uninhabitable.
In order to help, I need to raise money. Every little bit brings me closer to my goal! The fee for my trip is $800, and I also will provide my own transportation.
Thanks for helping me build houses and hope in Louisiana!
Thank you for your support, be it financial, emotional or both! I love my blogging friends!! xoxo

clandy...i think it is fabulous that you are going to do this...hfh is one of my favorite things...it was also my very good friend dawn's favorite thing, so your undertaking is even more dear to my heart...
i will be making a donation thru the mail, since i am off credit cards for the time being...i just want to make sure the link is good (i know the address is cuz i just recently sent them money) but i would like to make sure you get the credit -- so just let me know that the link for the mail-in form is good...
good luck!
peace...
Thanks Nancy!
If you click on that link, you'll get to my fundraising page. Then, on the right, there's a little box that says "Donate by mail." If you click on that, you'll be taken to a form that has my name and ID number on it. All of the donations have to have my ID number and the trip ID on the form in order for me to get credit.
And, I checked the link - it works! :)
Thanks again!! :)
Thanks sweetie for the support.
Listen, go to Paypal.com and set
up an account.
People can send money directly
to your paypal account.
No checks need be mailed and
cleared etc...
They also get a 5.00 credit for signing up I think. Or I did years ago when I signed up.
They are very secure and are the preferred money handler for ebay sellers.
I have an account for ebay purchases and leave money I get for web design in the account for buying art supplies. (Or I transfer funds
into it from my bank account.)
Let me know if you do it and I will send you some paypal money.
You can withdraw the funds by a
check they send within three days
or into your personal bank account
if you set one up with them.
Thank you for doing this.
I want to go too.
This is terrific and so are you!!! :-)
I meant to leave a comment the other day...but I got side tracked by clicking on the link and then getting discouraged because I didn't see the "send check" option. I'm with ATB.....paypal would be great...but I'll zip off a check if you can't make that happen!
This is GREAT.

I am sending you a huge virtual hug and thanking you for giving pieces of yourself to help those in great need. It is angels like you that teach others how to fly. All the best to you on your trip!
Love,

WoW!
This is so fantastic and I'm so proud of you. You are my new hero.
Mr. Blogzie and I would love to donate to the cause. Let me know when you get PayPal up and running.
Bravo to you!

Morning...I just sent money via pay pal...but the link on your page wasn't working....the link to paypal! FYI
Have a great one today and thanks again!
STB
That is wonderful that you are going down to New Orleans to help those people out.
I need to go to the pay pal site and see what I can do.
Mary
Yeah !!
I'll paypal a bit today.
Love ya...
the check is in the mail =)
peace...
I am so excited for you. I really wish I could help. Been working with Habitat for eight years in my neck of the woods. We just started another home two weeks ago. The weather is messing with our efforts but it always works out in the end.
Have you asked local church groups for financial assistance? Might help. They do amazing things for us in Illinois.
Best of luck to you and thank you for being a caring person.
Have a great weekend!

Keep up the good work!
Love,
Kimberly
