Where We Are

Yesterday we didn't have words.

Today, we've lost most gross motor functions and carry no hope of finding our cars in parking lots or remembering to put the cap back on the toothpaste. You say we owe you an email? We solemnly swear we're working on it.

We're plumb tuckered out, people. But that's okay.

Know why?

WE'RE ABOUT TO BREAK $9,000.

BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE AWESOME.

Carry on.

  2. This is such an amazing thing! I don't even care if I don't get anything, I'm having fun reading the smackdowns and watching the bids climb ever higher.

    I saw Rachel Gardner say her donation goes up on Day 8.

    DAY 8???

    WOWZA. I'm so proud to be apart of such an awesome community. I think we all are, truthfully. Everyone is blowing my mind, this is amazing.

    Get some rest! You're doing an amazing job.

  9. I just want to say thank you. You guys are amazing for organizing such an event. I tell everyone I know in Bellevue about this. I was lucky because I live on a hill between Bellevue and Bellemeade, and my house didn't recieve damage. But so many of my friends and people I know from work lost everything.
    We all appreciate your support!!

  12. Is there anything we can do to help? Seriously. Anything?

    I can't begin to imagine just how overwhelming the response must be. But as a fellow Nashvillian, I know how NEEDED this is. The three of you are amazing.

    All best, Holly (@history_geek)

  14. Is there a way to donate without bidding? Most of the auctions exceed my budget which is GREAT for you guys, but then I don't get to contribute.

    How about a listing that's just for voluntary donations? I could do $20 - $25 and I don't need anything in return. I'm sure there are a lot of others who would donate something if this option were available.

    Just a thought. If you want to send me the PayPal details, email me at missvspeaks (at) gmail (dot) com.

    Keep up the great work!

  16. I sent an email hoping to donate a few days ago and haven't heard back. You must be absolutely flooded with emails, which is a great thing. Thank you for this. I was lucky and my house did not flood, but a couple of my friends lost everything in Nashville. You are doing a great kindness.
