Dakota Wicohan

[Anna Luisa Daigneault]

Tammy, I am so sorry to hear that as well!

Phil, those are great sites, and there is another popular crowd-sourcing
site called Indiegogo that might work as well:
http://www.indiegogo.com/

Tammy, if you set up an online fundraising campaign, I would certainly post
the link on the Living Tongues Facebook page so that people can see it and
donate through there.

best wishes,
Anna Luisa
