Good news. Because of your gifts ($125 in total) I made the first payment toward materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Houston: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $45 so far, I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
