The Announcement
Jul. 13th, 2005 11:13 am(Feel free to spread this around)
I have a small dog. This small dog has diabetes and Cushing's Disease. As a result of this, I have vet bills. HUGE vet bills. $2600 for the three days he just spent in critical care, added to the "normal" cost of his treatments.
Now, it goes against all my rural New England instincts to ask for money. And I'm not certified to sell my chocolates commercially.
However, I think I've found something that works:
The First (and Hopefully Last) Toby T. Chien "Insulin Costs WHAT Now?" Pledge Drive
Do you like small fuzzy animals? Do you like high-quality gourmet chocolates? By helping one, you can enjoy the other!
As a thank you for your donation to the Toby T. Chien "Sixteen Dollars for a Bandage??" Pledge Drive (we're still working on the name), a gift box of gourmet truffles of your choice will be delivered to your door! (Directly, if you're in the Greater Boston area; by mail, otherwise*). A donation of $15 gets you a 6-piece assortment; a $25 donation earns a 12-piece box; $35 garners a 20-piece box, and any donation larger than that...well, we'll negotiate something special! ALL money raised will go directly to Toby's medical bills.
