The AIDS website takes a while to get updated. There is usually a 3 day lag, I wonder why?? Given the way the Internet has taken over the world, you would think the donations would be updated instantaneously....Here I was this morning calculating how much I had collected so far...It was tough doing the math without a calculator.. ( now that my vocab and IQ is down to that of a 3 year old) so I was guessing about $800 at best, and I was gonna be happy with that.
But whhoooowhhooooo, I check this afternoon and its a whopping $1310... I just couldn't believe it- my 1st reaction was maybe they put someone else's donation under my name. And then I check the donation list - Halina ( a girl a grew up with) sent my email around her office, and her boss puts in $250 on behalf of the company. Saswata's buddy at Raleigh was very generous with $300, and old colleague of mine from Hertz gave in $100, and a lady whom I help when the elevator got stuck gave me another $100.....this is too good to be true..I am still waiting on Starbucks, Safeway, and a few other places. I have 2 more months of donations to come in, and I think I am going to be able to collect more than I am supposed to - its good - cos that way I am going to be able to make a difference in the lives of more people..
People are good, and are always looking for ways to help - I like to believe that.
