Rome Fund UPDATE
To be honest, the Rome Fund was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I think if Rosie or I had allowed ourselves a couple of days to think about it, we would have talked ourselves out of asking for money. And, to be frank, I’m not sure I believed we could raise the money in such a short time.
However, in just the first 24 hours, I have received $1,700.00 in donations.

(that’s the sound of me falling out of the chair)
$1700 !!!!
We are really, really having a hard time believing or understanding this outpouring of support. I now really believe that we very well may receive $3,000 in donations in time to cut the check on August 1st. I’m truly stunned, and overjoyed, and grateful, and humbled.
Like Rosie, I’m not sure what to say. I guess I’ll just say “Thank You”.
