ATTENTION: If you made a monetary donation thru the website please check your credit card statement to verify that the money was sent. We have discovered that there was a problem with the website and some donations were not received. We have no way of knowing who donated, but we’re able to determine this issue because a donor notified us that they did not receive a receipt or notification after attempting to send money through the website.
The problem has been resolved and was an internal issue so there is no “hacking” concern. But is you made a donation prior to today it lost likely was not received.
If you have any questions please call the shop at 962-9077.
