Hope dies last

[riccichan]

I've crawled out of the black hole I disappeared in on Monday again and have now rediscovered my fighting spirit. I am NOT going to give up. Not after I already got so much support from my friends! I am going to see my boyfriend on October 30th! In order for that to happen, I need to get together enough money to also cover the second month of my

I just made a donation and hope many more people, like all these lovely people above, will help too. :)

Sorry I fail at commenting also feel kind of shy to do so, but I always read your posts. ^__^

I sent you an e-mail at your gmail address too; not sure if you check that though.

[riccichan]

Thank you SO MUCH for the generous donation, I'm really overwhelmed! *HUGS* I didn't get the email, though, I even checked the spam folder. ;_; And you don't fail at commenting! I'm like that myself, often, I read everyone's posts too and even think of what I want to write in reply, but then I don't do it immediately for whatever reasons, too much times passes... yeah. ^_^;

But anyway - I am grateful and happy and wish I could give you a big hug in person! Should you ever decide to go on vacation in Virginia, there's a place where you can stay! <3

^___^ No problem. I think you're a great person and I'm happy to help. :)

I just realized I wrote in my comment I sent it to your "gmail adress" when I meant your paypal e-mail adress. m(_ _)m That's why I said I don't know if you check it, but I didn't have your regular e-mail address. ^^

Virtual hugs are okay too. <3 And thank you so much for the kind invitation. :)

I wish i could participate, but i'm myself in a hardcore-saving mode right now (i'm leaving for a year in jp on the 7th of november). However, i hope you'll be able to reach your goal very soon. I can't send any money, but you have my support <3

Quite useless comment, but by staying silent, I was afraid it would give you the impression I entered the "annoyed" category (which is not at all the case ^^), and you certainly don't need that now <3

[riccichan]

Absolutely not a useless comment, and it didn't even occur to me that the way I phrased my post, people could think I would assume they are annoyed if they don't post or donate. Ricci FAIL!

And your support means as much to me as any donation! <3 I am so very grateful, and I hope that you'll get together enough yourself to have a blast in Japan! :D

I asked Ina for her bank details so you get all I send and not have Paypal take something.
Wait befor you sell you keyboard, you may not have to, depending on the outcome of "the end of shame". ;)

And selling instruments *s* is somehow not good. Selling textbooks is bad enough.

I am very proud of you. Being able to ask for help means that 1) you trust in your friends enough that you do dare to and
2) you trust in your friends enough to hope thzey will help.

So: thank you for your trust in us.

*happyoverwhelmedbouncy* THANK YOU! For now I am hanging on to the keyboard. I still can't believe that you and so many others are so selflessly generous, for ME! It's like I'm in a dream, where everything I thought I knew about the world is proven wrong. It's a wonderful feeling!

I was a bit sad to see my textbooks go (I have to admit to being a little bit proud of my collection of translated Japanese literature and books about the Japanese language). But it is for a worthy cause, so I won't moan about their loss!

*hugs* Again, thank you so much! I will never forget this.

[riccichan]

Thank you! And of course I understand that - your support means just as much to me. :) I wish you, your hubby and the little one a wonderful time getting to know each other! *hugs*

[fleurrochard]

Ich hab Ina auch mal um die Kontodaten gebeten - ist doch erfreulicher, wenn es dann alles bei dir landet. *HUGS*

[riccichan]

DANKE SCHÖN! Ach, es ist so unglaublich, ich kann immer noch nicht glauben, dass das hier wirklich passiert. Vielen, vielen Dank für deine Großzügigkeit! Falls du je mal Urlaub in den USA machen möchtest, in einem kleinen Städtchen in Virginia steht dir jederzeit die Tür offen! *hugs* <3
