Seriously, I don't have words right now, and as anyone who has ever suffered the Oregon Trail-like journey that is one of my blogs you understand how serious that is.
As of this morning, Michael's fundraiser started by the fabulous EileMonty is sitting at TEN THOUSAND dollars! I can't even.
In addition, my ebay auction is up a mind-blowing $885. Keep in mind, when the auction ends, that will all be coming from a single doner. I still can't even.
I am so proud and so overjoyed to be even a tiny part of this community. It's not often you get to be surrounded by so many kind, generous and brilliant people- let alone have the honor of calling you my friends. Thank you. I cannot speak for Michael or his family, but from me- personally- THANK YOU for rising to this occasion and rallying around this tragedy. Thank you for proving that this community- and the people in it- are something to be proud of.
That being said, today I would like to keep this ball rolling. I have started a new auction with the help of my friends Buttons and Rhyme Scheme who have generously donated some wonderful and rare items in addition to my own assorted pony things and stuff.
1- Deluxe Blu Ray and DVD 2 disk set of Bronies The Documentary, signed by Tara Strong, John de Lancie and Lauren Faust. That's right, the pony trinity has graced this item with their autographs and it can be YOURS! Your OWN! Your PRECIOUS! This item generously donated by Rhyme Scheme.
1-Adorable Snowdrop plush made by Cutie Corral and donated by Buttons. This is one of only two ever made!
4- 11x17" posters designed by dumb old me including Standing Ovation, Trotcon 2012 convention print, and Jason Takes Manehattan. Best of all you get the only copy of my brand spanking new Welcome To Bat Country print!
25- 3x5" convention prints- the very same I sell at my table, except you can have them in one fell swoop! Yes, yes, we all know swooping is bad. We'll make an exception in this case.
43- 2.25" buttons. Again, the entire collection from my convention table EXCEPT you get them all at once PLUS three bonus buttons: I Believe in MA Larson, I Believe in Tacos and Beer and Chaurus Egg!
1-Vinyl tablet computer cover in faux book style with Harmony Storybook horse design. Please note, the gold emblem has minor stress fractures and is not flawless. Right now we are out of the various book box parts and this is an earlier prototype. However, seeing as how I can no longer get the Verso Prologue book covers, it's the last of its kind! Tablet cover fits Ipad2 and 3 as well as my 10" Galaxy Tab 2.
1- ComicCon 2013 Funko Crystal Rainbow Dash. 1008 piece limited edition. SO SHINY!
In addition to there are other fantastic ways to support Michael.
Eileen's fundraiser is still ongoing and looking to hit a new goal of $20,000.00. DONATE HERE!
Sophillia is hosting an auction for a gorgeous rarity plush to benefit Michael. You can Bid on that RIGHT HERE!
My ORIGINAL AUCTION is still ongoing and the NEW AUCTION I is just getting started.
And, of course, keeping Michael and his family in your thoughts, wishes and prayers is appreciated as well.
Take care for now everyone! I will continue to update as the day goes on and news rolls in. And THANK YOU for everything you've done to make the best we can out of a tragic situation.
