The quilt is done. In spite of Sara and Ann both being hit with illness, they have bent time to make it so. The messages of love and support from all of you are there to be read, surrounded by Otteray's family tartan and Celtic Lassie's favorite yellows.
The comfort your messages give are so badly needed. The only thing left to do is get the quilt to Celtic Lassie and Otteray as quickly as possible. There is no time to spare, for either of their sakes. So here is what needs to be done.
With all of your help they will have the quilt tomorrow, if we raise $200 for overnight shipping. We don't want any one person paying for it all. If twenty of you can give ten dollars each or whatever you can give, Celtic Lassie and Otteray will have the quilt's beautiful manifestation of your love, strength, and comfort on Tuesday.

That should take you to their donation page. My deepest apologies for any difficulties.
Each donation ensures that Celtic Lassie and Otteray will have the comfort and support they so badly need within hours instead of days.
I can not stress enough how important that is to both of them.
Otteray needs us with him, needs to know that we are there with him and his dying child. He has lost so much already. Surely we can do this for him, for them both. How could we not?
For those of you unfamiliar with the back story, here is a link to Sara's diary explaining why the need for the quilt.
There are no words to express the sorrow so many of us are feeling for Otteray, his much loved daughter, and their family. There have already been more than enough losses to shatter the strongest heart. If we could move heaven and earth it would all be different for them, but we can't. What we can do is surround them with our love, strength, and comfort. That is what the quilt will make visible, tangible. That we can do. Thank you darlins for all your help in such a sorrowful time. You matter far more than you know.
