Thanks so much everyone! Steven, that is exactly my mission too - I want to be sure that they know I am genuinely there to help them in any way that I can and not just trying to get some attention on myself or my business, as so many others have done through this whole thing.
But, man, if I don't come up with the goods by way of getting all of these calendars sold, I will feel SO terrible as I really have their trust and their hopes are high that I will be able to raise the funds that they need to get some bills paid and some projects Happening that they are all depending on. Very happy to receive orders from our website for international peeps - the calendar *is* distinctly Aussie though, including the Australian public holidays and school terms etc, so please don't be disappointed if you order one from overseas to discover that is the case. Currently the website is open to pre-orders, just to assist in cash flow and the PR side of things as we don't want media sending people to a non-functioning website. Printing will be completed within 10 days though, and all pre-orders will be filled immediately then. On a personal level, my rational brain keeps saying just what many of you have said "if it sells more calendars then who cares how they do it?", but I still have this nagging voice in the background saying "this is not about you, keep your ego in check" as I know that there Already family members of mine who are whinging and saying that I am "only doing this for personal glory". I am SO determined to prove them wrong. I don't know how to do this, except to keep on going back to Grantham and working hard out there to help in any way that I can, so I guess I'll just keep doing that and hope I can shake it. A friend gave me great advice today. She said "Repeat after me, "What people think of me, is none of my business"!" I am making this my new mantra and trying to put my head down and bum up and just keep on plugging along and hope that I don't offend anyone by doing so!

Great work, Tanya. It's a nice TV piece, but I'm mostly referring to your efforts. No matter how much money you raise, don't forget that, for these people, it was probably most important that they knew someone cared.
