We Feel the Love
Hello Friends,
Holy smokes! 372 backers? Amazing! Thank you all so much for such an outpouring of support! In the past several days, things have taken off and momentum has been steadily building towards the finish, but with only 6 days left to raise our final $10,000, we need your continued help. If you aren't aware, if we don't reach our goal by July 31st, we don't get any of the money pledged.
But we are excited about this home stretch! As you may have figured out, we like our statistics. Having crunched the numbers, we have figured out that at this stage, if each of you recruited just one friend to contribute $25, we would reach our goal. Or, alternately, if just one of you recruited one friend to contribute $10,000, we would also reach our goal :)
This is so encouraging! Success is within our reach! To quote Jimmy from page 209 of A Place to Stand, "Many will not understand this, but I say that we can overcome, not today, tomorrow or next month, but at the very moment one decides upon it."
We've decided upon it.
With Hearts Full of Gratitude for All of You,
The A Place to Stand Team
