I happened to suffer from a late summertime cold on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I still don’t feel well today, but I’m up to sitting behind the computer, and that means that I should be working.
I’ve posted every pertinent Red Wings story in the “Catch-Up Post of Doom,” I’ve caught up on my Google email alerts (all 400 of them), I’m working on preparing for therapy later today and now…
This is gonna be tough.
We are at the lowest point in terms of fundraising ever in terms of the Traverse City trip. The $520 in the GoFundMe is about where we’re at, and I really don’t know how we’re going to be able to raise the rest of the $4,500 necessary to 1) rent a car next Wednesday and 2) pay for half the hotel bill next Thursday as Aunt Annie and I hope to head up to Traverse City for the Red Wings’ Prospect Showcase and training camp.
We’re scared. We don’t know how the hell we’re going to be able to raise enough funds to have cash on hand to pay the necessary bills to get the 82-year-old, double hip replacement patient that is my caregiving responsibility and me up to Traverse City in a week.
We’re kind of lost here, and I’m feeling depressed and down about the high probability of missing TC for the first time since the lockout already.
I don’t know what to do other than ask for your support. I know that the Mysterious Benefactor’s $2,000 donation was a one-time thing. I know that I’ve had two $1,200 donators who may or may not be able to help this year (money is tight for everyone). I know that Kukla is understandably raising funds just to get by, and that’s worth your time, too.
But I’m asking as humbly as possible for your help to make an increasingly unlikely dream to happen.
I don’t know how the hell we’re going to make it happen, but we’ve got to try, so if you’re able to help, please do.
