progress update!

Wow. The amount of feedback we have gotten since starting this project TWO DAYS AGO had been staggering!   Angela is in shock. I don't think she realized how loved she is before all this.  We have gotten a lot of pretty exciting donations promised to us for the auction, Dana has found a band to play, and we have a few people talking to lawyers they know about posisbly taking on Ang's case.  This is so fantastic!

Some suggestions that will be implemented when we get a chance:
  • We are working on opening a Donations bank account to handle all this, and so people can donate money more easily, should they so desire.  We have only been to one bank, but they needed $100 to open the account.  We are hoping to find some place that doesn't require so much money, since we don't have it. If you can think of someplace (we are trying to keep it local, and not use big banks),  please email us at benefit.for.angela@gmail.com
  • As soon as we get the account set up, we are going to be putting a Paypal "donate" button linked to it on the page.  It was pointed out to us that people might respond well to that.
  • I am going to be composing a letter to take to businesses to try and collect donations for the auction. If you have places in mind and would like to help us out with this, email me and I will send you a copy of the letter.
That is it for now. Thank you so much everyone for keeping us in your thoughts, and helping spread the word!
We love you all!
Nikki and Angela

    You can set up a paypal account with a pre-existing bank account then use the $100 to open a new account once you get one.

    thanks for the advice :) we are actually trying to keep everything seperate from her personal account as much as possible, so we would really rather not do it that way...one of my main concerns is making sure that everything is done legitimately so that she doesn't end up having to claim it as income, and so no one turns around and sues us haha

    it looks like idaho central credit union will let you open a free checking account online with no minimum balance:
