i could not agree more. i am calling in my donation in a few minutes. checks are not the way to go in this case unless we can just take some of the donated money from stevie and earmark it for hugo and someone lay out the money until the check is received. i would be willing to do that. sort of like a loan. i never wanted this to be my project. i just used all the resources i could to help find someone to make or donate a chair. actually doggon were not the only people who responded. everyone is so impressed by the love of this community, they jumped right in. this is not about our egos it is about hugo's health.

I also thought it was 'on top of' and so yesterday called doggone to see how the production was going only to find there was no production and to just start the chair they needed 75% of the total amount. Yes, Melissa was getting plans for building one but Donna did not trust her building abilities so yes, the fund is started at the company. At this point if folks mail checks to one place then that place waits for them to clear then has to mail the funds the two weeks for the chairs production would have passed. Hugo needs this chair yesterday, it still must be built. So instead of hashing whose "baby" it is and talking back and forth more and wasting more time. Let's work together and get this chair "in production" . Bet Ellen with her horse sense can tell ya what immobility does to a giant. So yes, let's work together, time is already lost and Hugo is still down, let's get him up and give him a chance, who cares 'who's baby' it is....it is Donna's baby ....Hugo that matters. I tain't no talker when time is a wasting ...... Thanx to whoever donated this day....thank you so much....we are that much closer to starting the chair !
