I have spent the evening going through all of the Paypal donations for Pennies for Bella and reading each of the special notes that folks have left.  I am going to be collecting all of the little messages into an email to send to Bella and her family.

Just a small sampling of the kind messages that have come in….

• Prayers from a grandma in Alaska.
• Hope Bella will be fine soon.
• Please give bunny hugs to Bella and her family.
• Many, many prayers and hugs to Bella.
• Love and prayers to Bella.
• I feel for this family and will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
• Hugs and prayers to sweet Bella.
• Love and hugs to Bella. You can do it, Girl!
• We’re praying for you all and Bella especially.
• Hang in there, Bella.

The other thing that has me just amazed is how far Bella’s story has traveled.  We have donations and messages not only from all 50 states but also from England and throughout the UK; from Israel, Dubai, every Canadian province, Italy, Germany, Australia, The Netherlands, China, India, and Sweden.

Thank you so much to each of you that have donated.  If you still want to donate and be included in the drawing, you can do so until December 5, 2008.  Just include the words “yarntini prize” in the message section of your paypal donation.
