The accounting update is as follows:
There were a total of 50 donors as of this pm.
The total charges as of this pm were: $4,504.01.
The total donations as of this pm were: $4,300.00.
The difference is only $204.01 as of tonight. I suspect we may receive that in checks that may already be in the mail.
Anyone who sends in any donations once this bill is closed and paid in full, will be contacted to see if they want their donation returned or do they want to place it on this account for the follow up heartworm treatment. I will keep a very detailed account of this and have done so with all donations, even timing the donations for each day of the week so if we had to return donations, I would know at what point the bill was covered.

It has been a real pleasure being a part of the pettalk.com network over the past few weeks. This experience in working with all of you and speaking with you by phone has been something I will never forget. The amount of compassion and dedication that I witnessed from so many people who generally do not know each other has been an experience that I could not ever have imagined. It is just amazing how much can be accomplished by a concerted effort and persistent dedication. You are all to be commended for coming together so quickly and so strongly to make this all happen.

On behalf of the Louisiana Veterinary Referral Center in Mandeville, LA, we again would like to thank all of you for your support in many ways (calls, prayers, letters, emails, postings and donations). Everyone contributed in some way to this cause and looking at Johnny, I am sure he is smiling and saying "thank you" as well.

Warmest regards,

Trish
Trish, if every organization had someone like you working with them, every business, etc...would flourish. Can you go work for BP? hahahaha.
