Yesterday I had the honor of speaking with Chris on behalf of her pea friends. It was my immense pleasure to inform her of the tremendous outpouring of support and care shown by so many of you.
I had her sit down before she shared, and once she knew why, she was glad I did. Needless to say, she was utterly overwhelmed. It took her a minute to comprehend what I was saying and what it all meant.
Chris is incredibly grateful. She was truly touched by your care and generosity for her and Gary. And this is going to give her some breathing room. She will post her own thanks when she is able.
Originally I had planned to send a list of all the peas who contributed, but I consulted with a small pea committee. (As many of you were trusting me with your money, I wanted some measure of accountability.) They accurately determined that she would want to individually thank each donor. We didn’t want to add to her burden, so I hope you understand why that won’t be happening.
I sent the funds via Zelle this morning. If you are seeing this for the first time, please PM me for her address if you’d like to send something separately.
I am so dang proud of the peas. I’ve said it all already on this very post, so I’ll quote flanz
“Huge thanks to all who participated! It's such a good feeling to know that we, collectively, can help lift Chris up during this dark time. Money doesn't solve everything and of course she'd far prefer to have her husband here and healthy... duh... but this gift is such a tangible way to show her that we care and are here to support her. THIS, to me, is Christmas!”

Woohoo two hours left! Girls you have been simPEAly amazing. I am so excited to be able to call our friend, share about your generosity and send her the funds.
I have an unexpected appt today that will have me on the road most of the day. I’ll update when I’m able.

Ok girls, this is it! If you’d like to participate, the cutoff is tomorrow (Saturday 12/4) at 9am DST. We are about to bless her socks off! Your generosity is amazing.
If you’re still waiting for confirmation that I’ve received your donation, please send me a PM. I have a few I don’t know who they belong with.

Thank you so, so much. What a blessing this will be for Chris. I still have four contributions without a peaname.
1 - If you’ve donated and your initials are SS, J, or BY, please PM me with your real name so I can add your peaname to the list.
2 - If you are still planning to contribute, please include your real name in the PM or your peaname in the PayPal/Venmo info area.
Thanks so much! This has been a joy to facilitate, but you are the ones making it happen.

Thank you so much for your kind and generous hearts. So many of you have reached out. I have heard from active peas and lurkers, those close and around the world. Together, our little bits are adding up to a whole lot of love for our friend.
If you have already donated and have NOT heard from me, please check in! I am acknowledging receipt of each gift ASAP. Also my Venmo and PayPal pic are me with dark hair and glasses. I’ve heard there’s someone else out there with the same name as me.
Our deadline will be this Saturday, Dec 4 at 9:00 am DST.
If you miss this deadline and want to contribute, please pm me for her address.
Again, thank you all so much. YOU are making a difference for our friend. You are providing a spot of sunshine on a very dark day and meeting a very present need.
Once we have a final tally, I will pm each contributor and let you know the total we are sending.

The peas seem to be overwhelmingly in favor of sending $ as a group. If you would prefer to handle it on your own, that’s perfectly fine. Peamail me for her address.
If you’d like to contribute to a group gift, please peamail me as well. I use both Venmo and PayPal. Please include your real name in your pm so I know which pea is sending it. I’ll let you know I’ve gotten it.
Thank you for your hearts for our friend and for your trust in me. Let’s set a deadline - I’ll wait a week, then send any monies received. (Edited)

There are several peas who expressed they would like to help Bergdorfblonde after the passing of her husband Gary. I haven’t spoken with her yet, beyond her requesting me to let you know - which I had already done.
From her posts here on the board, I think it’s safe to say she could use some help. He was a veteran so I imagine there will be at least some help for his burial.
I’m not quite sure how to go about this… we could collect $ and send it to her, or I’d be happy to give anybody her address if you’d like to reach out on your own. Just peamail me. (She gave permission to share a few months ago when the peas wanted to help.)
Any ideas? Please don’t tag her in this thread. That’s why the title is vague.
