Reserved |OP| #3

This |OP| is now the official update page for Operation: DAGr8! You may donate here: Donate to DAGr8 or by clicking the "donate to me" button in any one of DAGr8's posts. The money will go to him no matter which of the 2 links you pick. I will keep a running total of people who have followed through vs. people who have yet to follow through. We need 100% of the pledges to donate to make this happen. 1-2 more donations will seal the deal or, If everyone includes just $2.50 more when they donate, we are there. Thank you everyone! I was told this couldn't be done! We proved the doubters wrong!! Stay tuned my friends.

10:15 AM GMT -5 Update: we currently have 5 donations out of 34. Great start!

5:50 PM GMT-5 Update: Apologies for the delay in updates, had a Dr. appt. Anyhow, where are we? I'll tell you. Currently, and as of this writing, 10 people have confirmed their donation via PM to me (one posted but i'm not naming names :)) We have also received 2 more pledges that I will update to |OP| 2 after this update. Also 3 additional people have contacted me with dates they will follow through. They are quite reasonable (1-3 days) . We are waiting to hear from 25 people, unless they have contacted DAGr8, as I have not talked to him since I just got home. I will do at least one more update tonight and start again bright and early (my time) tomorrow morning. Thank you all!! We are getting this done!!

Please stand by for update #3, I missed some people in my 5:50PM update. #3 by 8:00 PM GMT -5!

7:55 PM GMT -5 Update: I now have 13 confirmed donations and 4 PM's giving a date of donation to come. They are all within the next few days. There are currently 36 pledges so, as of donation day 1, we are slightly over 36%. If you include the people who have PM'ed me that they are going to donate withing the coming days, we are at 47%!!!!! Quite acceptable, if you asked me. I am working with DAGr8 to get a current dollar amount. I will do my best to get that info up tonight. Meanwhile, there are still 19 people who should be in contact with me via PM. To those people, please contact me with a confirmation number and dollar amount or a quick note as to when you will be donating, as soon as you can. No names, everyone knows where they fall. Thank you everyone who has confirmed donations. You have made a strong foundation. To everyone else, Thank you for your pledge. It is now time to donate and keep our plan alive! Until next update, Thank you!

9:57 PM GMT -5 Update: This will be the last update for the night. We are now at 15 confirmed donations and 40% of the pledged dollar amount ( +/- 1%). That figure is as of 8:00 PM GMT-5, when I received a paste from DAGr8 outlining the individual amounts. We have started off strong!!! Lets keep this rapid fire pace going. I, as are several of you, am expecting my Note 2 tomorrow (friday) by 4:30. I, for one can't wait. What I am really waiting for is some DAGr8 goodness to flash. I trust we all are. Please keep those pledges turning into donations. I trust you will! Next update, Friday AM. Thank you all very much for helping to make this happen!

Friday 8:00 AM GMT-5 Update: As of this post, we are up to 24 confirmed donations out of 36 pledges! Great job, everyone who has followed through. We continue to have 4 PM's, confirming their intention to donate. I expect them to follow through between now and the weekend. Included in the total are a couple donations that are bank transfers meaning the money has been donated, but will take several days to clear. That is no problem! We are still waiting to hear from 9 people who have pledged but not yet donated or PM'ed me. We still need 100% of the pledges to donate so please, if you are one of those 9, send me a PM, and let us know when you will follow through. No names, everyone knows who they are. Thank you all for your generosity! We are getting very close. We are at 73% (+\- 1%) donations. I believe the remaining 27% will donate soon. Today is payday for many so lets see what the day brings. Next update will be early afternoon GMT -5. Thank you!

Friday 1:15 PM GMT -5 Update: As of this post, we are up to 26 confirmed donations. We are still waiting to hear from 9 people who pledged. I urge those people to step up to the plate and make your donations. At least PM me and let me know your intentions. I donated, but you owe me nothing. Everyone else who donated deserves respect. They all pledged and made good on their pledges. Many donated more. Because of the additional donations, despite those 9 pledges, we are very close to reaching our goal! The 9 people who have yet to follow through represent an additional $235.00 USD that has not been collected but, we are only short by about 60% (+/-) of that amount. People who have PM'ed me and given a donate date have been included in this figure. I will have a more accurate figure tonight, when I get an update from DAGr8. I will post an update here, when I have that info. Please, for the sake of all who have already donated, follow through with your pledge. Our work has earned us that courtesy. Finally, A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has followed through. We will make this happen! I wont rest until it is accomplished. (I may sleep, but it won't be restful ;) ) '

Edit Friday 1:15 PM GMT-5 has been re-done to accommodate for the error I made due to someone not knowing how to properly cut and paste (no names, D4G i want to say it (lulz))

Friday 7:00 PM GMT -5 update: Hello everyone, I am here with your much anticipated update. Everyone has done an excellent job, As of this writing we have received 30 confirmed donations! We are so close I wanted to delay this update but, I want everyone to know how good of a job they are doing, and that I am still on the job. I spoke with DAGr8 and we can officially confirm that there is only $35 dollars needed. This does not include any donations received in the past few minutes. I had to have a cutoff so I could make this post without constant editing. We are still waiting to hear from 6 people who collectively pledged $125. We need, at least 2 of them to step up in order for DAGr8 to pay his paypal fees, and still have enough left over to cover the phone and sales tax. Tax in Quebec is not what we are use to here in the USA (for those who live here :) ). It is 15% +/- .7%. I did not look it up myself, hence the +/-. Congrats to everyone who gave, regardless of the amount, every donation is appreciated. I expect DAGr8 to update this thread with a post from him, when he has acquired the phone. I know he is looking! I can't thank you enough for making this huge undertaking become a mere baby step away. I am very proud of what we did, in the face of the doubters. You should be proud of yourselves. A big high five to everyone! Stay tuned for another update tomorrow morning. Hopefully it is the final update to confirm we hit our goal to donate a phone we all will use, or are using, in order to help DAGr8 make his magic. We are all WINNERS!!!

Saturday 10:45 AM GMT -5 Update: Well folks, we xxxxxxxxxxx! HAHAHA, oficial update to be found, momentarily, in |OP| #1
