OK, so… it’s been a little over a week since our financial rug was pulled out from under us. In bullet fashion, here’s your update:

• 9/13 – 8:30am – we find out that the $6000 we had cleared off of one card by transfering to another had been instantly taken away from us, leaving us no way to pay for the CD that was already in the process of being made…
  

• 9/13 – 9:30pm – we receive a phone call from Jen’s parents saying that the previous day they had been given a check to be given to us. It was for $3000. That paid for our deposit.
  

• 9/16 – A letter was sent out to the basic mailing list detailing the situation, and just asking if anyone would like to help, mostly by pre-ordering the CDs, but also by donations… response has been somewhat slower than anticipated, but we have about $250 from that. Very cool. TOTAL: $3250.
  

• 9/19 – Get a phone call from my bro-in-law, Josh. We chat about them purchasing a time share we had bought earlier this year (with the intent to sell it again for profit…) We had discussed this earlier, but obviously the timing is great with our need for funds to finish making the CD. After all is said and done, sale will total roughly $2500. TOTAL: $5750.

TOTAL NEEDED FOR CD: $5720

Oh my. 🙂
