The wash

There's an old saying that everything will come out in "the wash". So here's our wash for this last Mississippi trip. The numbers are almost final, so I feel very confident in saying WAY TO GO TEAM!!!!

We brought in a total of $18,648. If the receipts stay the way they are now we've spent $17,377. Do you see the difference? That's about $1200 that we brought in that we didn't spend...which means we can send it on to our friends in Pearlington who need the help. Woo-hoo!

I completely forgot, in the insanity that was the last day in Mississippi...our New Orleans day...to buy Ralphie/Jeffy his prize beignets for getting the most PayPal Donations. He came out ahead with 19 donations through PayPal, though Ellen got 6 and Debbie got a last minute two to add up to a whopping 4 online donations. Thanks to all who played!

And, I did a little math and figured out that about 130 households/people sponsored our team of 19 people. Thank you so much! We couldn't have made the trip without you.

The next post will be pictures from Ms. Donna's house, along with the letters she left for the team. Be prepared to get a little teary.
