THREAD OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR SALES AND DONATIONS

 

I had to choose a point to bring this to an end and after two day of wonderful contributions we have raised enough money to fund this student for probably 4-6 months worth of groceries.

 

I've been a part of similar campaigns before to help others, but this has been truly remarkable. In my two years of being on the boards I have learned a lot. I came through the school of hard knocks and learned how to grade here, learned from the veteran members how to operate here, and developed a greater appreciation of our hobby. Most importantly, I've learned what a tight knit community this really is. The comic world is a special place with some of the most intelligent, creative, enthusiastic, and kind people I've come across. If you have spent any time here you might think that last sentence is a stretch. And we do have our arguments and dramatic moments. But, we also have moments like this where we came together to do something good. This makes us the heroes we read about. You may think that a stretch also... But a hero does great things for no other reason than for the greater good.

 

So thank you all the heroes of the boards.

 

I will plan to purchase and ship the gift cards on July 3rd. I'll keep you all updated here and as I said in the original post provide a copy of the receipt for transparency.

 

Happy 4th everyone :hi:
