I know this is a delicate, my apologies. It is very important to me that those that donated know this.
Below is just cut and pasted here for clarity:
As some of you will easily recall, back in 2010 I tried desperately to pull this together via donations from the group. At first we were successful at gathering the funds through email commitment however; not nearly as many people actually donated compared to the number that committed through email.
I am retired and could not foot the remainder of the bill and have felt like an ABSOLUTE HEEL ever since!!!!!
I have now made a contribution in the sum total of ALL monies received back then. 480.00USD
I am not at all interested in anything other than trying to help the community and possibly save a little face for a project that was started in earnest to benefit the masses.
I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE the understanding of those generous souls whom tried to help initially and deeply regret the direction my effort turned when things fell so desperately short.
Thank you for the bandwidth.
Cheers,
David
