Nate, you're amazing. This raffle is such a great thing.
I couldn't even fathom dealing with my daughter being gravely ill.
Remember, to send payment as "Personal" --> "Gift" in Paypal options, folks, so the amount being sent isn't being whittled away by fees. And keep the description on the "down low" since PayPal is notorious for shutting down accounts that are doing good things like charity auctions.
