My paypal account charged me $15.57 in fees which I am covering and I donated another $20 from myself. We raised a total of $642.
We have $45 remaining. I asked for a single donation on Twitter of $144 to buy a fourth. We'll see what happens. Otherwise, I will keep the $55 for next year's campaign unless someone really needs their donation returned. I'll gladly do that.
