Wrap-up post — You’re reading it \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

I’m pretty excited about this year’s fundraiser.<\/p>\n

I set our goal at $1,000 (or 3,000 meals) but I was really nervous about it. Like, really, really nervous. I thought given the state of the world in general and social media (where a lot of people learn about the fundraiser) specifically was going to be a couple of very difficult obstacles to overcome. However, as we inch ever closer to the finish line I’m pleased to say that we have not only met but actually surpassed that goal.<\/p>\n

Whaaat?<\/p>\n

I’m super stoked and filled with gratitude already but there is still one day left for donations, though, so perhaps we can do even more!<\/p>\n

If you missed any of the stops on our blog tour you can check them out from the links right there *points* (I wanted to say ‘the links to the left there’ but if you’re looking at this on your phone they are probably actually above this LOL).<\/p>\n

I also wrote a letter to Santa as a blog post here –> https:\/\/www.rhondaparrish.com\/home\/dear-santa-2\/<\/a> which simultaneously was and wasn’t on topic for our ‘Light in the Darkness’ theme this year.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” button_text=”Donate Now” button_url=”https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/pages\/2022-giftmas-fundraiser\/” button_alignment=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

If you can’t help out with a direct donation I want you to know that your signal boosts feel like gifts and may help us reach the attention of people who otherwise wouldn’t even know this fundraiser is a thing.<\/p>\n

We greatly appreciate both \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
