YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! While I was working today, we had another generous donation to take the total to $705. My parents messaged me and said "why not check Best Buy to see if they're having any sales this weekend?" Well, they were having a sale. This afternoon only. A 4 Hour Blitz Sale. iPads were $125 off. After GoFundMe took their chunk, I would be receiving $640. The total for the iPad at Best Buy with tax would be $735. My parents are making the up difference right now so we can order it online and save the additional $125. It won't be engraved "from TGC Tours" but believe me, Eli will never forget this. We're going to pick up the iPad tonight on the way home after I get the boys for their weekend visit. I'll make sure to record it so all of you can see him receiving it. And I'm sure he will record a thank you himself on it once we get it home and set up. Again, thank you all. You've helped make our lives a lot better. |

We're going to pick it up tonight. Everyone involved knows but Eli. We're going to stop at Best Buy on the way home from my getting them from their mother where the iPad is reserved and waiting. We'll tell him when we get inside what's going on. I'll record it so you can all share the moment. It'll be later tonight, around 10ish central time.
