April’s Army, Regretsy readers, and friends—
There aren’t enough words in the English language to accurately express our gratitude. This has been a miraculous experience for us. We began the week feeling hopeful, but you all quickly showed us kindness, love and generosity far beyond anything we dared hope for. Your messages of support alone have brought such a light into our lives, and the money you’ve contributed is truly life-changing.
We want to thank the over 250 people who purchased something from our Etsy store. Every listing sold out, so thank you so much for your overwhelming support. We appreciate your patience with the delay as we work to complete and ship all your orders. (In the meantime, I’ll be posting periodically at katieandmarilyn.blogspot.com with pictures of the soap making/packaging/shipping process in order to keep everyone updated and involved, so check back there often.)
We must thank all the people who donated money through our blog as well. You very literally gave without asking anything in return, and that is unbelievably moving. Thank you.
We also have to thank all the amazing artists and crafters who donated items to be sold through April’s Army on Etsy. It’s obvious that you all put your hearts into your work. Frankly, it was a struggle not to buy many of the items ourselves! They were just that fantastic. Your contributions have made an incredible difference in our lives.
And of course, we are immeasurably grateful to April and her whole charity team. Not one bit of this would have happened without your kindness and generosity. You really are improving the world, one Etsy seller at a time.
So from our family to all of you, thank you!
-Katie and Marilyn.
