I used your e-mail address through paypal. I don't know if you need to know that or not. But there it is.

Thank you everyone, the donations are starting to show up on the Adamtopia Giving Society account.
----- I'll put the link back up in a few hours. I'm having to jump thru a few more hoops with Paypal than I thought. Everything that has gone thru already is fine, I just want to get everything straightened out on my end (ie proving to them I am who I am) before we add more. Makes my bookkeeping easier. ----
arrgh... I made a separate paypal account so that I wouldn't mix Atop money with mine, you know trying to keep everything nice and controlled, separation of church and state etc., and because I now have 2 accounts Paypal wants to know why. errr, lol because so many of us, and in my case "older" peeps stan this young gay guy. Oh yeah, did I say I had to send them a copy of my driver's license, the one showing my gray hair? By the time I get talking to them on the phone maybe I'll turn them all to glamberts.

Alrighty then. Hoop jumping almost over. I still had to link it to a bank account so I've got one that has 10 dollars in it (just enough to remain a member at this one credit union I've belonged to since I was 5).
So back to the dramatic count-up to our goal. Yesterday we got.... 35,25,50,25,50,10,50 in for a total of ......drumroll.........$245. Yeah! Halfway there and I think a lot of that was in addition to the pledges.
Now many of you who have been contacting me in PMs have been pretty accurate in guessing the special need I was looking at.
One of our members also contacted me about another need that came up on the board during the last several days, back on the 11th, and if anyone is interested specifically in it you can PM me for more info or designate said usage when you donate.

Hi Gifters.
I have contacted our first TAGS (The Adamtopia Giving Society) Award Recipient and after the surprise was over, quite a bit of gushing ensued. Suffice to say she's absolutely thrilled. She'd been reading the thread and was trying to see if she could contribute in a small way herself and had no inkling that we were thinking of her.
We are working out the logistics now and waiting on a few pledges that are still coming in.

God lord, tears, tears, tears. Giving is so rewarding to both the giver and receiver. You made my day, and made me feel super human. Thanks Jablea and all who have contributed.

Thanks everyone. I sent a copy of our recipient's response out this morning to everyone who had PM'd me or posted here. I think ecstatic and heartfelt would describe it.
Wanted to give you an update on funding. I posted earlier what we got the first two days, here is what has come in since. 25,125,26,20,25, 40 If anyone wants to know for sure if I get theirs just add an unique cents amount to it and I'll include that in my listing. We are sitting at $492.48 (paypal takes a cut from credit cards) so we are in really good shape to fullfill this grant when we have the logistics sorted. If we get above $500 then we are considering another grant for another Atoper who is having some difficulty with expenses and of course money above that will be kept in the account for future needs.
