If you copy and paste this link in your browser then it will take you to a spreadsheet that looks like this:

As you can see it is not going so well. The "Total" bar needs to be as high as the "Goal" bar while the "Amount Remaining" bar needs to get up to zero.  Remember, this is to get their family out here for Kim and Liz's baby blessings.  If we can't meet this goal then any donations can be refunded unless you want the money to be saved for a possible later trip.  There really is no risk here unless you count seeing Carl, Sarah, and their kids as risky business!

Hello everybody,
This blog and the Paypal donation button are for the purpose of funding a trip for Carl, Sarah, Easton, Nichole, and Emily to come to East Idaho on 12 March for the blessings of Ollie, Sophie, and Will.
This trip will cost approximately $2,000 to fly them out and back.  They can spend some time with the Hosmers and with the Larsens or ignore us both.  While they are here we'll provide room and board and transportation.
What we're asking is for anybody who is willing and able to donate to this $2,000 cost.  If we don't meet this goal then we can simply refund any donations.  The path of the donations is going to go through my business, Idaho Climb Club, to Carl and Sarah's Paypal account.  It is a little weird but it was the easiest way to set this up and I want to be transparent.
There will be heart tugging pictures of their family posted shortly with impassioned pleas from famous people like Sarah McLaughlin coming soon so check back often!
