I just wanted to give an update. I really appreciate all the help from the bubbler. I have only received one local donation from my city. After pushing 75 brochures and letters out to businesses and the local paper running a story, only one person from my city found my cause to be worth while. It has been this site and other fish sites that all my donations came from. It is sad to know that others from around the country think that my cause is worth saving when my own city hasn't stepped up to the plate. Finned Friends raised some nice donations however we have fell short by about $400 to solve my immediate problem. I have til the 18th the letter that arrived in the mail yesterday says, so hoping it will all work out in the end. I am praying that I can get through this immediate danger. With the talk of someone on here (thanks Greg) trying to get me a fundraiser started, to help out my next obstacle of raising enough money to fix the problem that caused these high bills and to get an attorney involved to sue this company.
But I just wanted to make sure it did not go unsaid that you have been wonderful to me here. So thank you.
Kelly and all my finned swimming friends.
p.s. One of my rescues got adopted yesterday!
