The begging and pleading part of the fundraiser

Good morning.

Things are not going super in terms of raising funds to get me down to the Red Wings’ summer development camp next week. We raised $270 of the approximately $900 or so needed to rent a vehicle in order to get me downtown on the first day of fundraising…

And we haven’t raised a penny since.

I understand that it’s hard to pay for a product when it’s not here yet, but I’ve attended these development camps since 2006, and if I was able to drag down the 18-year-old Pacifica with its tailpipe scraping the ground, I would…But I can’t do that safely, so I need your help.

If you can’t or won’t donate, I ask you to please share this fundraiser with your friends, so that we can at least keep a sliver of hope available regarding being able to rent a vehicle to safely attend the Wings’ prospect camp by Monday, July 1st.

If that’s not possible…It’s really going to break my heart, and make me incredibly sad, but my family has endured so many setbacks and difficulties over the course of the last eight months that I won’t let it break me. I hope.

Anyway, things are going shittily, and all I can do at this moment is hope against hope that the unthinkable might actually come to pass.

Thanks for reading.
