We are getting a second wind here guys. It seems some of you are really taking my matching challenge to heart. And for that I am more than grateful. What's a better word than grateful? How about beholden? Or, maybe much obliged? There has to be a better way to tell you how much I appreciate and the shelter appreciates your help.

While I think on word usage, I wanted to let you know that we now have a one stop page for all information about this book drive. Just click on the butterfly on the right side of the screen.

The page contains links to other bloggers who are helping with the cause, alternative ways to help out, and every post I make about the book drive. Don't worry, I'm still going to post updates here. But, the beauty of Movable Type, is I can publish them simultaneously to both pages. So, if you get a chance, check out the new page. Oh, and make a donation while you're at it.

I'm planning to compile a "Hall of Fame" page that lists the donors and their donations. If you wish to remain anonymous (which why? you are doing an awesome thing, and should be acknowledged for it), just say so when you forward your shipping confirmation.

Let me tell you this though: We have shipped 84 journals to the shelter. And I still need to match 24. By tomorrow, 108 will have been purchased and shipped. Don't even get me started on the regular book donations. I'll be able to give you a better tally on those in just a couple of days.

You guys have no idea how big a deal it is to put a journal in the hands of 108 kids. The shelter cycles the kids through 20 at a time that means that more than 5 groups will be taken care of before the week is out. But, lets not rest on our laurels here. Seriously, take me to the cleaners guys. You send, I match. Just like that, you have doubled your donation without even trying. And the best part is how good you feel about knowing you have helped some child who will probably never meet you. Its a powerful feeling and everyone should experience it.
