[HCoop-Discuss] HCoop needs capital to grow services (60% there!)

[Nathan Kennedy]

Sorry, I’m a really bad fundraiser, I checked my filtered folders and found another private email.  We have a private pledge that brings us over 70%.

So, we only need a further commitment of about $550 to be fully funded, and with our volunteers' help we can move forward with this project.
