We've had over 400 views on the blog, which is fantastic. We've had about ten donations... which is a 2.5% closing ratio (10/400). Not quite what I'm used to, being the salesperson that I am... but we're grateful for every bit!
My heart has been overwhelmed recently by the people who have reached out to me and Chance. I am surprised and incredibly grateful for the people that have come out of the woodwork to help us out. I wanted to update everyone on where we are right now in regards to our final goal.
Now... ideally we'd be able to afford the most successful form of radiation to treat the residual cancer cells (hooves crossed that we make it to that point!)... but that's over $12,000.... and we're nowhere NEAR that amount. However, we've collected $2,091 in donations over the last two days. This is enough to get Chance TO Auburn and for the initial examination and part of the surgery.
I'm a starving college student, so my savings account is nothing to brag about... but I've emptied that into the donation fund, which has us at a little over $3,000. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP! Every single bit helps. Brandon (my loving boyfriend) is also helping me sell my motorcycle (her name is "Dirty Diana"). It's nothing fancy and this is about the worst season EVER to sell... but we need every stinking penny! I'm hoping we will be able to sell Diana, which will get us THAT MUCH closer to our goal of having a happy, healthy Chance!
As far as Chance's spirits... we told him we were going to do "glamour shots" on Christmas day. I've attached pictures of how he responded to this idea and you can see them at the end of this post. He decided he wanted to be a Chestnut for the pictures. I think someone read him my initial post about never wanting a grey horse and wanting a chestnut (orange) or bay (brown) instead. WHO DUN IT?!
For those of you that read my initial post... or anyone who has a light colored horse and understands the difficulty of keeping them CLEAN... let's all take a moment to roll our eyes.

Fantastic.
DON'T GIVE UP! Send this link to anyone and everyone! Any amount helps! I've had poor college student friends donate $10 and $35. (Which is, like, WEEKS of Ramen noodles!) Hey, it doesn't matter. Chance and I are grateful for each and every one of you.
He and Romy are meant to be friendlovers. Romy does the same thing to me. "Let me go get all orange and come snuggle your face." Except orange makes him sound slutty. I mean chestnut.
