5/14 - We passed the $5,000 mark over the Mother's Day weekend, thanks to a couple of donations my Father picked up and the generosity of one of my sober buddies, who gave $250 and called himself a "One Percenter." Thanks to those who have contributed and a 2nd thanks to those who have sent e-mails to others with the web link. Just think, if you find one other person to donate this week, we can double the size of the fund by the end of the month....
