Please keep tipping and recommending so as many people as possible will see this diary! We only have a day to accomplish our goal. THANK YOU!
Due to a situation far beyond our control, the Derby Day Party and Fundraiser for elenacarlena did not reach the goal we had set. Total amount collected is $220.00. The original diary is HERE if you would like to see how the party went.
Now Elena's situation is critical. She must make her rent payment of $750 TOMORROW and she is $530.00 short. I will start things off with $30.00 leaving only $500.00 to go. That can be 50 people sending $10.00 each! I know this Community can do that.
I know there have been many requests for help, all for very worthy causes, and stretching everyone to the limit; but I know we can do this one more time for Elena who is a valued member of our Community. Here is what JekyllnHyde wrote in the diary:
 I am joining Most Awesome Nana and several others in the Community Fundraisers group in strongly supporting this community effort for elenacarlena. Ever since she joined Daily Kos, Elena has been a strong and regular presence while participating very widely and quickly becoming a valued community member. As an example of this commitment, we have worked closely together (along with JoanMar, 2thanks, Tortmaster, and others) behind the scenes for the past year in helping to finalize and post weekly diaries on police brutality and Medicaid expansion through the Support the Dream Defenders group. As you know, she is also a regular diarist for the War on Women diary series. Please help Elena through this difficult time for her as well as her beloved pooties and woozle. On behalf of the entire CFs group, thank you. JekyllnHyde |
Everyone will WIN THE ROSES TODAY!

8:11 AM PT: elenacarlena has job interviews today!!! She will be dropping by when she can. GOOD LUCK!
1:20 PM PT (elenacarlena): I have returned from today's interviewing, which brings the total to 12! All seem to go fine, all say they'll "let me know" with greater or lesser enthusiasm. As of a minute ago, we are at $247.65 for today. Please remember to tell PayPal that you are sending to a friend! If they think it's for business, they take a cut for themselves.
5:10 PM PT: While we have reached today's goal of $500, and Elena will be able to pay her rent, both the cats still need special food - and Oreo needs insulin - so the fundraising effort is still on-going. Please continue to tip, rec and share. Look out for at least one further diary. You are all very, very special people and there are not enough "thank yous" in the world for what you have done.
10:16 PM PT (elenacarlena): We now have a total for today of $567.65. No one else was charged a fee. I hope those will be reversed by tomorrow. That would make it $570 even. The rent will be paid. Yay! With the weekend's $220, we have reached about half the total goal. Good work, Kossacks, and thank you very much!
