Critical milestone reached in our fund raising campaign!

We're happy to report that today a critical milestone was reached in our fund-raising efforts for Yirui Wei. As of tonight, the deposits in her donation account surpassed the $15,000 that we need to get her admitted into inpatient rehabilitation. This will pay for about 1/2 of the estimated one month stay that she will need as an inpatient.

This is an amazing accomplishment, due to the hard work and generosity of friends and supporters here at MU, in Columbia, MO, and around the world. We thank each and everyone of you.

Of course, our work is not yet finished, as the full extent of the rehab time and expenses are not yet definitively known, but at least we now know Yirui can enter rehab as soon as possible, perhaps even this week. After a few days to relax and celebrate, we will all need to get back to work to continue the fund-raising effort.

Check back here for more updates as they become available. And thanks again to everyone for their hard work. Together, we will make this happen!
