$1480.00!!! Ally Fundraiser Money update MARCH 1st

[jennielynn1970]

I am certain Julie will kick in whatever the gap is (monetarily) but her situation (like many of ours) is a very tight budget with many expenses. So please don't think that she does not wish to help pay, but if there are any more donations I know they would be appreciated.

Julie's situation is more than tight, and it's not just monetary. She's in a really overwhelming position right now, between living in a 3rd world country, having issues with the company her husband works for, and her daughter being sick, and dealing with daily living. The move seems to be not what she expected.

Julie will have to fund whatever we can't raise. That was the deal from the get go, so it's not as if she's trying to get out of paying anything. We're trying to help her in this dire situation.

The newest amount she was told for flying ally is $1216.00. It could be more, but she's hoping not. With a new donation, we are currently at $1170.00, which means we are $46.00 away from that amount. We do have to take into consideration PayPal Fees, so the EXACT amount of donations equals $1136.46 ($33.54 in fees). PayPal charges 4.5% basically for transactions. Any checks that were sent incurred NO fees because I can add to the account free of cost. I also got an "e-check" and that did not incur fees either. Not sure how that one was done, but it is a good idea. Fees are a pain, but 5 years ago, this entire PayPal endeavor would not have been possible.

So, basically, we're $100.00 short to have the entire amount, matching the fee figure taken out, to be at the total.

I've been thinking about just donating the fee part back in just to keep it easy.
