Thank you! Love from blogUT

About a week ago, we at blogUT put out a post asking for your help. We’ve been running into some financial problems and we on the editorial team have been taking money from our very thin wallets to pay for some fees necessary to keep the blog running. As university students sucked dry by the institution we begrudgingly but lovingly call “our school”, we were getting desperate. So we asked for your help here on the blog, on Twitter, and on Facebook to donate whatever you could.  Ten dollars. Five dollars. A toonie. A buck. Lint from your pocket. Whatever.

To be perfectly honest, we didn’t really expect to get much out of this. But we thought we’d give it a try anyway.

And after ONE WEEK, we are blown away by the amazing response we’ve received from our readers and supporters. After ONE WEEK, we’ve received a whopping…drum roll please…

$383.37!!!

We are so incredibly thankful to all of you who stepped up and gave such generous donations**. You’ve given us the chance to repay our debt as well as pay for hosting fees for the year to come! We could not be happier! You honestly saved the life of this blog.

And for those who were unable to donate, we thank you so much for giving us some fundraising ideas, for sharing and passing along the message to your friends, and just speaking such kind words of support. It’s been humbling to hear from our readers how much they enjoy reading this blog and that stuff make our hearts melt. And it’s really the only reason why we’re here and why we do this.

So from the bottom of our hearts, we love you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Honestly the kind words from people I felt were as touching as the donation money. For years, I did not know how people felt about the blog because we never got comments, so it’s really nice to hear that we’re doing something right!

    Sunshine and rainbows are emanating from my heart.
