Where are you at on the fund raising? The website does not look promising...

The website doesn't tell the full story. A lot of us donated straight through Paypal.

The results were good for my mom having guardianship. A bit of drama and weird moves from the other side. Now we move on to the custody filing.

I started back to work last week and I completely forgot until I had some free time this morning. Got the donation in earlier. Hope the girl can find her way back to you sooner rather than later. Good luck with everything going on.

Καλό μήνα (kalo mina)...that's have a good month in Greek. We say it at the first of the month.

The day has finally come to conclude this Giveaway. I'll be drawing names in just a bit. I wanted to take this time to thank everyone that has sent donations, prayers and messages of support.

My family and I are very grateful to have each and everyone of you in our lives. The show of support here on OPE has been outstanding.

As I said before, if you find yourselves on this side of the globe, don't hesitate to let us know...you have an open invitation to our house.

Final totals were $5475 from 89 donors as of midnight west coast time. The funding site will be left open indefinitely.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to donate again after the GFM snafu. My apologies for the trouble that were caused.

 

[AlfA01]

So, on to the fun part...

A couple of guidelines to go by for the drawing. Hopefully we'll be able to avoid any confusion and this will go smoothly...

The good news...there were no Anonymous donors. I haven't tracked down a couple of usernames, but I have everyone's email address from PP, so we should be able to contact everyone that donated.

1. I'll draw an equal number of names to prizes plus three alternates to start...one prize per donor.

2. If you are drawn and don't want a prize, you have a couple of options--pass or donate it to another member.

3. First drawn will have first choice of prize and so on.

4. Have a prize in mind that you would like to have. Also, if you plan to gift your prize to another member, have that person in mind as well.

5. Everyone has work and isn't on the site daily, so we'll give each person 24 hours to select a prize when their time comes. After that we'll move on to the next person drawn.

6. If you have any questions, complaints or suggestions, please shoot me a PM. Let's keep the thread free for prize selection until all the guys have had a chance to pick.

I think that's got it covered. Good luck to everyone.

@ajschainsaws please start off the prize selection. Congrats to you, sir.

 

[beaglebriar]

Congrats to all the winners!! I like the 24hr deal, it'll keep things moving. The prize selection can be painfully slow.

 

[Wilhelm]

Just an FYI, I have not been pinged having been mentioned in this thread.

Not a big deal, but others may encounter the same forum behaviour so I thought I mention it.

Congratulations to everyone that contributed to this cause.
Hopefully Lillian will come into a loving and safe home.

Cheers
