You guys are awesome!

Dear friends,

I am so excited to say this to you:

STOP DONATING MONEY!!!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, I reached my fundraising goal of $1500 this morning! I was able to raise $1540 from 23 donations. I spoke with my team lead this morning and she said they just calculated their official requirement for the trip at $1550, so I'll go ahead and donate the last $10 and we'll call it day! I wanted to send a very heartfelt thank you to you all - it is so wonderful to know that the world is still full of people who care about the plight of those they will never know.

I'll send you one more update before I leave on August 11th, then get ready for a long e-mail full of details and pictures when I get back to show you what your generosity accomplished and how happy it made one lucky Ugandan family. Thank you again - this means the world to me.
