This is the selling to the market screenshot so the final total in USD is $5,270.70 (after paypal/LL fees are deducated)

This is when going through process credit


As you can see LL does take a large fee so the number went down from $5405.82 to the final total of $5270.70

Final screenhot of donation + message

I want to take a moment to personally say thank you to any and all of those who took part and bought anything in the event. This time of my life has been very challenging, but being able to log on and see people send love and support and then helping with more than just words, it's something I am forever humbled by.

I want to address where the funds will be going and what they are to be used for, since there have been some concerns raised regarding this. The money is to be split up to be used for different things. Half is to go directly to my father, to help pay for any medical bills, or other such things that may come in our way in the next few months.

The other half will go to me and be directly put into savings for the time being. A portion of that, will be divided off to help pay for driving lessons for myself.

There have been some eyebrows raised about that, I'd like to explain that now. I live in Florida, which is a state where driving, even to something like a store, is a need, not a luxury. With my fathers work schedual and my own anxieties about driving, we've decided (and this was sometime last year, not a recent idea) that driving lessons would be the best

I had put into works a plans to save the start of this year to afford lessons, but with the sudden passing of my mother, and unseen expenses coming in at the same time, that was put to the side til things have settled down.

Now, there will be people who express I do not need to give an explanation, and I thank you for feeling so, however, to put rumors to rest, no this money is not going to be spent on bags, accessories, or other not vital things. The fact stands, living in Florida, in order to do anything, I need to have the ability to drive. So yes, a portion of what was

given, will be spent on basic driving lessons + driving test so I can be able to drive.

What I will share, so those who have questions can understand, is that now, there is only me and my father living in this house. My two sisters (both younger than me) have either moved out or gone to college (3 hours from home) and seeing how I am the oldest and need to be able to be a full adult, driving is the only thing keeping me from being there for

them if something where to happen. If my father is to get sick or hurt, I need to be able to drive him to the hospital or doctor. If something (god forbid) where to happen to one of my sisters, I cannot rely on others to take me or use an uber all the time to get to where I need. In the hunts for a RL job even, I could not do it because I have no transport

So yes, driving lessons are a need, not a want, not a luxury, they do involve this situation, because as the oldest and now head of the household, I need to do what I have to to make sure, I can be there for the people who count on me, and I have no barriers stopping me from doing so.

For any of the rumors about me being a scammer, all I can say is that, I hope and pray in your life, to those of you spreading these things, and those of you who started or honestly believe that of me and my character, I pray that in your life someone loves you and helps you the way you deserve, and you learn to not be so cold hearted.

I understand where people might assume things, and try to paint a picture of me using this donation in ways that is wrong, but at the end of the day, its simply not true. Please feel free to think what you wish, and decide what you want, I know the truth, and I understand that I cannot change the minds of those that are already made up.

I want to, in ending, again thank you all for the love and support you've provided, either it be just an ear to listen as I cry or feel lost, to my friends, Cassie and Max, physically being here to hug me and help distract me, to all the designers generous enough to donate items for sale.

And ofc, and certainly not last, the many patrons who spent their own money to help support both my family and myself in this trying time. Even those none of you knew my mother, I know that her warmth and light has been what's guides us through this time, and I know she will reward each and everyone of you with something special and true in the future.

She was love walking, a true angel, and I know she's blessed me to have such a strong and loving community as yourself.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for all you've done for us. - Rose ♥
