First, please let me clear up any confusion.

Last night, when it was determined that no more donations were needed for Dakota and Shanequa's medical fund, I deleted my previous post. I would've liked to keep it up, removing only the PayPal buttons, but had no idea how to do this. Other people had put them there (along with the badge and code) for me, and being the internet non-genius that I am, all I knew to do was delete the entire post. I will be posting updates regarding Shanequa's condition on Twitter as I get them. Please continue to keep them in your thoughts!

Now, the good stuff... Yesterday was a crazy day. Just when I was starting to get really discouraged and feeling a bit hopeless, the sky opened up and rained down more love, kindness, and generosity than I have ever been witness to in my life. The help that I received has been overwhelming. I have some thank you's to hand out...

I would like to thank Jenn for the way she stepped up and helped me (read: totally did it for me) get the PayPal buttons set up and ready to take donations.

I'd like to thank Colleen for her graphic genius. She designed the badge that so many of you grabbed and posted on your own sites.

A very special thank you goes out to Matt Logelin. Without his support and the support of his amazing readers, I don't think that this story would've reached the masses the way it did. Matt, if there is anything that I can ever do for you or Madeline or the Liz Logelin Foundation, I am ready and willing. Your courage, strength, and generosity are inspiring.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of the people who helped in passing this story along. I couldn't have done it without you guys!!! I could not believe the huge amount of reposts and RTs. The saying is true: There truly is power in numbers.

I want to express my gratitude to those of you who donated, sent messages of support, or have been keeping Dakota and Shanequa in your thoughts and prayers. It gives me hope to see that there are so many caring, thoughtful, and kind-hearted people left in this world. Sometimes I forget this, but have been reminded over the past few days. Thank you for restoring my faith in the human race.

I'm sure that I'm forgetting someone, but will remember the very second that I click "Publish Post". If you are this person, I'm sorry and thank you!

Basically what I'm saying is this: If any of you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope that I can help you the way that you so graciously helped me... If you need an organ, and I have one to spare, it's yours. (Disclaimer: This offer is on a first-come, first-served basis. While supplies last.)
