All of you are amazing!! Really amazing! We hit the $1500 goal in just 8 hours. WOW!
As I mentioned, the fundraiser will continue running for the next two weeks so anyone that wants to contribute can still do so. Any additional donations will be set aside for emergencies or future development. I’ll post more about this in a site update soon.
Here’s that link one more time.
And here’s some bonus beach Momo:
8!!!! HOURS!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! I had a feeling we'd hit it pretty quickly. :D

Mochi pictures are an extra incentive :)
Love this community.

I'm really not surprised by this but very happy too! :)

Knew we could do it - listen though, we smashed this particular crisis, but the fact is, the site will require ongoing investment and development... Why not just make it a monthly thing and do $1 a month ongoing?
I've been campaigning for a paypal donate button for ages, because for me it's not about the site being ad-free, it's about future proofing it against unforeseen dramas. I don't want the uncertainty associated with a freebie site which relies on the goodwill of just a couple of coders. It's got to be more robust than that.
So we jumped this hurdle, let's just everyone stick in some monthly cash whilst we've got the option to do so??
josh Camdengirl ⋅ June 04, 2018
Working on it! I've been building out a framework behind the scenes that will allow for long-term stability, and I'll be posting about that in the coming months. This fundraiser is just the first step to get us over the server hurdle.
Camdengirl josh ⋅ June 04, 2018
Great news - and I hope to see that donate button as a permanent feature!!
my.halo.has.slipped Camdengirl ⋅ June 04, 2018
I think this suggestion makes good sense and I’d be up for that.
Firebabe Camdengirl ⋅ June 04, 2018
I think a permanent donation option/button is a great idea. And if we need to do a big push to raise money for something, an announcement can be sent. Otherwise people can donate when they're able, or even on a regular basis.
NeonLady ⋅ June 04, 2018
Wow!! I haven't even had a chance yet, lol! I'll go add some to the pot now.
So cuuuuute!

Huzzah! :D I’m so glad. (For us reaching the goal AND for beach Mochi, which just makes me happy.)
ConnieK ⋅ June 04, 2018
Great fundraising skills! I should recruit you for our next Giving Challenge. :)
josh ConnieK ⋅ June 04, 2018
I give Mochi full credit

I saw the link this morning before I went to work - didn't get chance to donate this morning as I needed coffee more.... Can't believe Ive just got home and its already been hit... I'll still make my donation though :)

Fantastic!
Leanne 🌈 ⋅ June 04, 2018
Awesomeness 👍
Walking Crow ⋅ June 04, 2018
I logged on to donate and we'd already made it! Oh well more for the next issue :)
Lobbastah ⋅ June 04, 2018
Yeah, we're pretty cool that way.
Marg ⋅ June 04, 2018
That's brilliant! I thought we might get there in a few days but 8 hours is fantastic!
BlueEyes418 ⋅ June 04, 2018
Well, that's impressive! :) And that's very good news. This community apparently has a great deal of trust and faith in you. I sincerely appreciate all that you do.
josh BlueEyes418 ⋅ June 04, 2018
Thanks! I love it here, and I'm blown away by everyone rallying around the cause
Always Laughing ⋅ June 04, 2018
amazing what people who love a community will do to make sure it stays.
Cat Mommy ⋅ June 04, 2018
I am amazed. What a great community. I still plan on donating on Friday! :)
Complicated Disaster ⋅ June 04, 2018
No huge surprise!
nightborn ⋅ June 04, 2018
Not even a little surprised, like many of the others. This has always been an amazing community.
bobbi01 ⋅ June 04, 2018
Yay, Team work!
Deleted user ⋅ June 04, 2018
I keep trying to donate monthly and it won’t let me . I put in my debit card number and then it ships me to PayPal. Paypal says I have an account but won’t give me my password . Why can’t I just use my debit card to contribute monthly ?
kmh. ⋅ June 04, 2018
Nice :)
AnOrangeZebra ⋅ June 04, 2018
Wow, nice job guys.
Exhumed By Scrying Eyes ⋅ June 04, 2018
That's praiseworthy support! Way to go Pb community! The future is bright.
colour of water ⋅ June 05, 2018
Woohoo!! I've just thrown a couple of coins in :)
Thanks so much, Josh and Mochi!

Deleted user ⋅ June 05, 2018
Great stuff, I had no doubts.
I swear, if you'd said the need was for $10,500, this community would have stepped up. 20 years as a sharing, supportive, global community is a powerful thing.
TruNorth ⋅ June 05, 2018
Happy to donate as needed.
raeven ⋅ June 05, 2018
Woohoo!
LotusButterfly ⋅ June 06, 2018
Didn't think twice of donating even if we'd hit the amount already. Call it a Rainy Day Fund. PB is more than a community, it is s safe place, free therapy and wonderful friends. There is no price tag on sth like this. I totally feel what CamdenGirl said earlier about a permanent donate button- great idea.
Mochiiiii!!! He's so happy at the beach aww <3
moneypenny ⋅ June 08, 2018
I chipped in an extra 10, since I missed the fundraiser proper. Use it well and keep up the great work!
Bullwinkle6 ⋅ June 12, 2018
Not surprised. I just set up a monthly $5 donation.
history of love ⋅ June 16, 2018
I assume you will update with the total number after donations close so we know how much was raised and what you might have in mind to use it for?
josh history of love ⋅ June 16, 2018
Yep! Look for a post monday!
history of love josh ⋅ June 16, 2018
I will be all ears, wait, eyes for it :)
