Monetary donations have started coming in, and I'm very satisfied. Just over $1,000 has been collected so far in the first week of mailings! It looks like I will have a lot of work ahead of me actually buying items to bring out to South Dakota- a great problem to have. Now I have a great opportunity to load up on Costco type supplies like hygiene products and bulk household goods that probably won't be donated in bulk though these groups are just as important as the clothing that will likely come in through material donations.
This last group of envelopes was sent out mostly to the families of students and friends from my high school. Myself and a few volunteers spent two more hours finalizing this batch of mailers tonight, which should end the mailing cycle before I can get donations in by the end of May. I have more paper cuts than I ever could have imagined at the outset; we have now sent out over 250 envelopes to just friends and family. Emails have been sent to basically everyone in my network, including the members of several community boards I'm involved in. Again, I'm really grateful for all of the support I've received so far. Most Eagle Projects operate on half the monetary and material resources I've accumulated in just the first week of collecting. Keep up the support!
