Making progress

It is encouraging how we are making progress towards our goal. At first the thought of raising $30,000 was extremely daunting. We started out slowly with money we received in sympathy cards from people immediately after Aiden's death. We had $125 before we even knew what to do with it. In mid October when we decided to go forward with IVF, Kathy was able to add $300 to the fund and I sold a set of wheels for $1,600. So we had just over $2,000 when we decided to seek help from others. Immediately we received $420 in donations and I sold a couple of items on eBay which brought the account balance to $2,545. November began with a bang. I sold my car and a couple of parts which added $10,100 to the cause. Donations for November has been great at $2,200 which bring us to the current total of $14,845, just about the half was point.

What once appeared a daunting task is now within reach thanks to the support of friends, family and well wishers alike. Thank you.
