Creator Linda Spruill on July 28, 2010
Congratulations Nathan and Marquise! I'm looking forward to the next phase!
Creator John Christofferson (deleted) on July 26, 2010
Nathan, I am so glad I could help you, and wish I could have done more. You have already done much to tell the stories of some of us out here in the hinterlands, and I am excited that you will be adding the video component to that important work.
Creator Eric Deane Gordon on July 26, 2010
Congratulations Nathan! This has got to be so exciting for you! This project is going to positively influence lesbian and gay people all over the country in a very direct manner. Hopefully, it will also greatly influence many people who are not gay, regardless of their social and political views. I really look forward to seeing how those outside of the LGBT community are influenced by this project; I think it has the ability to bring many people together on a collective front. I'm so happy you made your goal. Kudos to you and every one of your amazing supporters.

OH NATE !! AWESOME !!! (I could add another one)
I'm so happy for you ! Considering so many young gay people are
feeling so lonely and even doing like Bobby Griffith.
Let's hope there will be less Bobby Griffiths by this project !
I hope your trip will be wonderful and blessed !
I hope you'll do the same for GayGroupsTube-YT-channel
( http://www.youtube.com/GayGroupsTube ) as for Homophobiawatch and Holebis below..

So happy to support your project. I have a friend that volunteers for the Trevor Project, and he often tells the youth he talks to about your site... It's bringing peace and hope to lots of people. Bravo!
Creator Richard Huntington on July 22, 2010
I donated what I had available which wasn't much but I passed the site onto a friend that works for Broadway Impact and it's posted to all their members. I see you're beyond the goal and I hope we can manage to make your trip easier or extend it as much as possible. You're doing great work Nathan!

I am making sure that my students who need to see and hear such stories know about the I'm From Driftwood" site. It is an excellent resource, especially in a region of MA notorious for its socially conservative political leanings.
Creator Deb McKinney on July 16, 2010
If life ever starts to get me down - all I have to do is click on the "i'm from driftwood" website and think about what you are doing to make this world brighter, and it makes my day!!!
Thanks for all you do!! The world is better with you in it!!
Creator Joe Jordan-Allen on July 9, 2010
"I'm From Driftwood" was a lifeline for me when I discovered it... the thought of it being the same to countless others across the United States is profoundly moving - voices heard, hearts touched, lives saved... thanks!
Creator fm graves on July 4, 2010
I'm going to try and get some money together, see how much I can pledge. It won't be much, but I'll also try to spread the word, get a link passed around, and all that. I'd really, really like to see this succeed, but with only a little over 1/3 of the funding, and only 3 weeks more to go, I'm worried it won't! If anyone else happens to be checking out this project's comments, please pass the link around as well! If we can spread the word enough, we should be able to make this happen!
Creator April Louise McLucas on June 21, 2010
This is an amazing project. I wish I could pledge more. Good luck!
