Wow. Long time since my last blog post. Clearly not as much time on my hands these days (and/or not as much to write about).
I'm posting today because I have finally(!) done the accounting and made the donation to Give Directly. I've been employed for just over a year now, I've managed to put money toward an engagement ring and a wedding (though not yet a honeymoon), I've rebuilt a bit of my savings.... it's time to make good on my promise.
So thank you to everyone who donated. Between your donations and my match, we pulled together £750. I ended up at their US site and since I have some USD cash not doing much, I rounded up to $1000 and donated there. I then found their UK site, which would have been far more tax smart, but it was too late. At least, too late for this donation. Wait all this time, then I'm in such a rush that I donate at 50% efficiency! Next time though....
Anyway, than you for you support, both of me through the trip and of this good cause.
