In FIVE days!

I am speechless and blown away.

When my mom approached me about finding a way to raise money to help the Holland-Andersons pay for their air conditioning I was hopeful, but a little skeptical. My heart knew it was possible, but my head said it would be tough.

I prayed. And wrote blog entries. And an email. And started a Facebook page.
And you guys did the rest. And then some.

Here's the timeline:

Friday around 5:30 - First email went out from Chloe's Crew and the blog went public
Monday morning - Redmon installed a new furnace and AC. The total was $6160.
Tuesday afternoon - Bob at Redmon said that they were donating $300 to Chloe's Crew. They are a local company who all have families of their own and want to help. What an incredible company! The total needed was now $5860.
Wednesday morning - I woke up to a couple of more donations and more came in through Paypal during the day. And there are still checks coming into Third.

In FIVE days the supporters of Chloe have so far raised...
Are you ready?

It's quite amazing!

Wait for it...

$6500.00!!!!
 I am speechless. And amazed. And SO proud of US! And so thankful to each of you. And so thankful to God. Tomorrow I will give Redmon their check and still have money left over for the HA to use toward their heating/cooling monthly bills or gas to/from Grand Rapids or whatever other needs they have. Wow.

Even more than the money is the fact that there are literally hundreds of more people praying for Chloe now. People who didn't know her story now do and are praying for Chloe, Kip, Christa, Martha and Henri. We know how powerful prayer is and we are now a group hundreds more strong. 

Thank you. For your donations, your prayers, sharing the story, spreading the word and supporting our friends. Thank you for showing just how amazing people can be.
