Project Valour-IT update.

New stuff comes in below this post.

You wanna hear about some impact for your Project Valour-IT donation?

I heard from the sister of a severely wounded Marine how much it helped her brother's rehabilitation to have one of our Valour-IT laptops. He lost use of both arms temporarily due to burns, so the laptop was an incredible blessing to not be isolated. Last word was that he was far ahead of the expected progress for his rehabilitation (I think he lost one or both feet too it was a very severe injury).

Read the rest here.

You guys are simply grand. Act vice bloviate indeed. Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it, WW!

From yesterday:

97 donations since Friday Weekend 2214.11 Monday 2475 Tuesday 3801 Total: 8490.11

Nice trend, too!

Last night, Fuzzybear Lioness provided this update:

58 Donors today: $5,850.00

Including $1000 from someone we believe is an orthopedic surgeon. I think that's particularly cool because he would recognize the need for and impact of this program. Pretty cool, huh?

[sound of shoes being removed and mumbled counting going on]

Lessee, that's $14,340.11 Which was more than NRO had raised as of last night in their fund-raiser.

Plus....

Today we also had someone who will be adopting a soldier and paying the entire cost of his/her laptop. We also have someone who will be donating a top-of-the-line new laptop.

Catch it all up at Fuzzy's place.

So, the fundraising for Project Valour-IT continues. Please click on the graphic below - and give up a little beer/winecooler/pack of cigarettes/movie rental money (or more, like Blackhawk!) to help the wounded re-connect to their wired lives. At this point - I'm just wanting to stay ahead of NRO!
