MO's angels fund update (Updated on 11/10)
As of 7:45 EST this morning, there have been 26 contributors to Em and Sean's fund, totaling $552.45. So wonderful.
Given the amount, I was wondering if you all still wanted to put the remaining money (after the purchase of the sculpture) toward a GC to Whole Foods, or if you would like some of the money to be given as a donation to March of Dimes in memory of the babies. (I know that Emily and Sean support that charity.) I'm sure they would be very grateful either way, I just thought I'd throw the idea out there. Whatever the majority thinks is best!
As for the sculpture, after tallying up the responses of who prefers the sculpture as-is or with tokens, so far it looks like more people prefer it as-is. I was thinking of placing the order for this soon, since it will take a while to make it and then ship it. So if anyone has any more comments or preferences regarding the sculpture, let me know, otherwise I'll place the order tonight.

I couldn't agree more.
All I can say is wow, what a great group of ladies we have here!
I agree with the contribution to the charity, and totally agree with what Kathy said!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

I'm with the pp's, I think donating part to the March of Dimes and part for the GC would be perfect.
I also can't get enough of the ladies here. I love that we're able to pull together like this when we're needed. Most of us have never met, but that doesn't change the friendships we have here.
This is seriously making me tear up. I feel lucky to be part of such an amazing group of ladies.
I agree with the pp's about putting some on the GC and giving some to March of Dimes.
agreed! I was thinking of making a donation to the charity on my own anyway, so this works perfectly!

ITA, sounds perfect. I know Em posted about donations to MOD on FB last night, so I'm sure she will love this.

I agree with everyone else. I like the idea of donating the rest of the money to the march of dimes.
I will send in my donation as soon as I get confirmation from paypal on my account.
Sounds good! I was also going to make a donation to March of Dimes so I'll just bump up my contribution to the MO's Angels fund instead.

Well that was a crazy couple of years.
I agree on the MoD contribution. I think that will mean a lot to both of them. We have such a wonderful group of ladies here, the compassion totally amazes me.
Wow, just... wow. I'm amazed by you ladies right now.
I also agree that once the sculpture and the gift card are bought, we should put the rest towards the March of Dimes charity. I haven't gotten to contribute yet since Paypal needs a few days to verify my account. Hopefully by Friday!

I'm also in agreement about the donation to of March of Dimes in addition to the GC. You ladies are amazing!

Update:
I purchased the sculpture (neutral Family of Five, as-is) from Etsy. Our total fund amount now after the deduction of the sculpture is $674.45.
Next, we should decide how much money should go on the GC. (I'm sorry for asking so many questions - I just feel this should be a group decision!) So far we've had suggestions of $200 and $250, while the rest will go to MoD. Any other thoughts on that?
Thank you all so much for your generosity. You are an amazing group of women.
