Thank you for your generous donations! We reached and exceeded our goal already! The piano was bought for $4,200 and we now have enough even to cover lots of the taxes. Should we have a little extra on top of that, I will give it to the Blodgetts to cover having it tuned for the first year.
They love the piano!
It was truly the perfect gift. They were so surprised and grateful.
The day I didn't see Sonja I asked Steven how she was doing. "Well...she loves the piano!" I was able to hear the boys and Addy practice on it last night. It sounds so pretty. I will have to take a video to prove it.
A special thanks to my in-laws, Rich and Vicki, who were kindly letting the Blodgetts use their old piano, and would have let them for as long as they needed it.
I will look into the best way to engrave the names of the donors. I
have been giving them updates on who has been contributing, and they are very grateful to you all.
THANK YOU!!!
Alisa

Update
Thank you to everyone who is donating! We are touched by your generosity and love for the Blodgetts. Even though we hadn't raised all the money yet, we wanted the piano to be in their house when Sonja gets home today, so Alisa went ahead and bought it and it is in their living room! It is a gorgeous shiny black upright.
That being said, we will keep the link open to donate for awhile so that those who want to participate can. I can only imagine how Rob, Sonja, and the kids will feel as they read the names!
Thank you again, stay tuned for pictures and updates!
