That's a fabuluos site. It's heartwarming to know there are so many kind and generous people. Just when I was feeling kind of negative about the human race again.
You can find Gretchen's thread on the Community Forum in the "All Funds Have Been Raised" section: Gretchen's thread
I'm not sure of all the particulars (I live in Alaska and they are on the East Coast) but it looks like Gretchen received a lot of publicity and donations from television news stories. It's not exactly clear (to me anyway). The last update from her family was 6/30. I hope they check in again and let us know how she's doing.
