Congratulations to SEAGATOR!! You won the first copy of the No-Sugar Added Poetry book to be raffled among daily donors during the fundraising campaign!!! We will send it to you along with the rest of the thank you gifts corresponding to your donation!!!
It was a very slow day today. Standing at $865 raised so far.
Please help us reach our goal: $10,000 by Sept. 13. If each member donated $5, that would put us WEEEEELL over the goal! Think of that. 
PLUS any donation of $1-$150 makes you eligible for the daily raffle of a copy of “No-Sugar Added Poetry” along with the benefits related to the level at which you are donating.
Did you know you can schedule a monthly donation to support the Diabetes Hands Foundation? If you cannot afford a certain amount now, you can split it into monthly donations? For example: want to donate $120 in a year? You can schedule monthly $10 donations.
