Update #13: We Made It!!!
Woohoo! Time to celebrate!
Just a quick note to let you know that our Kickstarter campaign is a success! What an exciting ride, receiving $5k in the last four days and hitting our target $10k last night. It is difficult for me to express how truly grateful I am to each and every one of you. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support, encouragement, and generosity — everyone from family to friends and coworkers, friends of friends and kind souls I have never met but share a common bond with. Thank you.
Your support has a tremendous impact on me and I'm so glad to have this opportunity; I've received a second chance in life and going to do everything I can to help others just as you have for me.
I'll have a more detailed message after our Kickstarter campaign has officially ended but I just wanted to take this time to celebrate with you and thank you for believing in our project as we fight for those living with BPD.
Dancin' in the street,
Amanda
