Catalina loves Donating To NCSF
We Are A Determined CommUNITY
It must be said, Catalina is not donating to NCSF. Catalina is donating on behalf of the CommUNITY who supported us in excess of our needs. The total amount in excess of our needs that we are sending to NCSF immediately is $225.00.
It’s worth noting that in June, when the ridiculous expense account fee that the school tacked on is refunded, we will also be sending those funds to NCSF ($1000).
In total then, our contribution to NCSF will be $1, 225.00.
I’d like to say Thank You again to all those involved - the people who bought tickets, the people who donated prizes, the people who cross posted, and the people who sent us good vibes and well-wishes. It all adds up and it all makes a difference.
Mark and I both will never forget the feeling of support that overwhelmed us. We were moved to tears to see people so willing to donate even just $1 toward the cause. The truly random kindness of strangers has amazed us. The mere fact that people trusted us, that we were telling the truth, and that we would be giving the excess to NCSF means so much to us.
We will continue to support NCSF and SFLDEF. They have been nothing but a helpful resource to us personally and we appreciate all they do for our CommUNITY. We have personally committed to set aside $5.00 a month for them. We realize it’s a small amount. If we could do more, we would do more.
This was a defining moment for us, one of those times in life we’ll never forget. Thank you for the influence you had in leaving us with only positive memories of something that could have been so ugly. It is trite to say it, but it needs to be said: in a matter of hours, our faith in humanity was restored. When we were at our lowest, complete strangers offered their hands to help us up. We are forever grateful.
