Hello again loves,

I have tried not to bombard you with too many emails during this campaign, but we are now at the last stretch. I want to use this opportunity to say THANK YOU so much for your early and ongoing support. Words cannot start to express the number of emotions I am feeling right now. The last 12 days has been eye-opening and nerve racking as well. But I am so grateful for all of you. I appreciate you standing by me during this publishing journey and I am thankful for all the lessons learned. So far, we have raised $1,155 out of $2,500 as of September 12. HURRAY!!! Your contributions means more than you know.

The campaign should be wrapping up by the 15th, and shortly after, I intend to mail you your package. Please take pictures when you receive it and share with me. In the interim, don't forget to share the link with your friends :).

Arigatou!
