It's a done deed

As you know, I promised to shave my head when Buddy's Angel Tree grant reached $1000 - and, not being one to break a promise, the deed has been done.

 

We went back to where Nathaniel had had his shaved - and the one lady there remembered us ! :)

 

Here is my ordeal in unflattering pictures !! 

 

Nervous ? Not at all !!

Apparently I have thick hair, so she cut it down to a number 4 to start with

Then she took it down to a number 1. 

The scene of the crime !!

Safely home again 

Me and my boy :)

 

 

Thank you to everyone who helped Buddy out so far !!

We're not finished yet, though - the Angel Tree fundraiser goes until December 31st - please feel free to donate to Buddy or any of the other children on the Angel Tree !!!  There are still many children who haven't reached their goal yet - AND if you donate to any of those children today, Saturday December 15th, and leave a comment HERE, you will be entered into a fantastic giveaway to win some wonderful prizes  !!

HE MADE IT !!!!

He made it !!!

 

Buddy is now at $1000 !!

 

I will admit that this was a bit of a surprise. yes - I KNEW we could get him to $1000, but I really wasn't expecting it to happen so soon - definitely not before Christmas !

 

However, a wonderful donor yesterday offered a matching grant to the Angel Tree children. He/she offered $7000, to be used to bump those children closest to the goal up to $1000. All the Reece's Rainbow Angel Tree Warriors had to do was get all of the children with the least amounts up to $250. 

 

There were 93 children with less than $250 - and they had to reach that $250 by 10am Eastern time today, 12/12/12  !!

 

Amazingly - we did it !!  All of the children reached $250 - by 9.45am Eastern !!

 

THEN - 23 children were bumped up to $1000 - and Buddy was one of them !!

 

I cannot tell you how excited I was to see that RED $1000 !!!

 

I am still fundraising for Buddy - hopefully we'll get him a little higher - he needs all the help he can get, as adoptions from his region run at around $50,000 :(

 

Please watch this space for news of my shaved head !

I think it'll happen on Saturday - hopefully I'll be able to drag Randy with me to take photos.  I'm hoping to go to the same place Nathaniel got his shaved (no, I wasn't brave enough to do it myself !!).  Unfortunately, the place is in the mall - which is a crazy busy place at this time of year. So getting Randy there should be interesting !!  HE will be getting HIS head shaved, too !!  LOL
