Assuming all invoices get paid, the auction raised $13,422.37!!! Thank you everybody, not to get all gross and earnest on main, but the response to the auction from bidders and item donors put some actual fucking tears in my eyes and some healing on my heart. Thank you thank you thank you everybody.

I just text banked for the first time thanks to Greg & @romancingthevote.bsky.social's sharing of this opportunity lining up w/my anxiety needing me to do something, and it was pretty easy! Definitely going to see if I can find other opportunities that fit my schedule for the next two weeks.
