Hello... I sent a Ferret Store gift certificate to Kym and haven't heard one word as to whether it even arrived. HOWEVER, I did a little research and spoke directly with someone in Texas who knows Kym and what is going on with her. My understanding is that Kym has been going thru some "personal" problems, whatever that means. She acknowledged receiving my GC along with other items. The "word" is that she'll be writing thank yous shortly. I also belong to a very long-time e-mail group, the ROoF (Royal Order of Ferrets) that donated money and it was sent to someone by the name of Chris who was to get matching funds. I have yet to hear that it was received. At this point, I feel somewhat confident that everything is going to the right place and being used...based on the info sent to me by my friend. I do believe tho' that Kym AND Chris should be acknowledging receipt even if just a posting to this list. It would set people's minds more at ease in my opinion.
