Hi @blackelephant. I just wanted to let you know that I see your post and I'm rooting for you.

I don't think of crowdfunding as begging. I think it's the community coming together to help one another.

It's good to be grateful and I see that you are. Remember, giving helps the giver also. We all benefit when more of us are getting our needs met. We need each other.
