We had a fundraiser for fineena a couple of days back and you guys kicked ass. I can't tell you how thankful I am for your kindness and generosity. These qualities are the finest the human race has to offer and this community overflows with them. It does my old heart good to see it.

We raised $1547 for Fineena. What this says about this community is sublime. Makes me proud to be a part of it.
So, once again, to each and every one of you - THANK YOU!
This is a slightly edited version of Fineena's latest email:
These are updated numbers as of now & this includes everything that went to Paypal. $1547. donations. I spent $104 from Paypal after vouchers for antibiotics & inhaler to bring home so my balance in Paypal is $1443. I may have had $70 balance when we started but I don't remember anymore.
I am home but feel terrible. Nausea & terrible cough & exhausted. Forgive me if I don't make sense at times. I am here if you do a diary & will jump in when I can but I'm not very reliable to be consistently there. Need some more sleep.
I still have to have tooth pulled by oral surgeon but don't know price yet. From what I was able to find out, probably at least $1000 - maybe more because there will likely be pain meds involved. However, if time is on my side, I have an appointment with my primary doctor on Thursday & I'd really like to see her first & let someone get familiar with all the different things happening to me right now medically & all the new & different meds. I had this appointment for about a month & the true reason is annual physical for my blood pressure meds & refills for them. Do you all mind if I spend some of the money you raised to pay for these? I didn't know how I was going to make that work out before.
Also, I need to pay some utility bills that are on the verge of being cut off & although I have no appetite, I need to get a few groceries & make myself eat something. I don't want to waste your donations.
Let me know what I can do & please let everyone know how grateful I am. I am planning on responding personally & thanking everyone who sent Paypal donations but not quite well enough yet to get it done. Thanks to all of you for caring so much.

It sounds like fineena could still use some help. $500 would put us closer to our original goal of $2,000. I know things are tough all over, but we just need to scrape up a little more to provide a modicum of security for fineena as she recuperates. If there is still someone out there who can help, please do. If anyone needs her snail mail addy to send a check, kosmail me.
Once again, a mighty mighty thank you to the Dailykos community.
