On Friday, we raised about $1000 for Anna! More than half was through donations, but a lot was from the raffle (big thanks to Kerstin and Lauren for getting people to buy tickets!!) and the door. 25 people came, and we got many more than that to buy raffle tickets.
Yesterday I had a yard sale. Anna came for a bit, but it was very hot and we didn't sell a lot. Grant and I are going to have some kind of event for the Fourth of July to raise more money. So...we are WELL on the way, at about $1800. That means we only need $1200...but STILL!!
My plan now is to continue to raise the money, and then to assess Anna when she has completed camp. I know what her reading is like now, and I will be able to independently assess her in August. That way I'll have a good idea if the camp is worth it. If it is, I may set up a non-profit to send kids from the city to this camp. We'll see!
