Updates from Polina
Update from Saint Petersburg: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 42% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($149). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rice, beans, flour and oil.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($69 in total) I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hang in there, Polina. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to St. Louis so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
