It might be funny, if life was a dippy romantic comedy. Enzo and Shannon returned from their honeymoon to find their house had burned down.

UPDATE: We've reached our goal in less than 24 hours! Amazing. Let's keep it going, see what the Power of Awesome Community can do with two weeks! New goal time:
Take a hike, $1000. Let's all say hello to $2000!

Hey pals,

Our friend Enzo got married to his fiancee, Shannon, this past February in Hawaii, where the two of them live.

Then, this happened: http://bit.ly/hI2MYT
(copy and paste, or click the link to the left)

"On the night of Feb. 28, while the Amitranos camped in the valley and house guests were off enjoying the island, the Amitranos’ Kalaheo home somehow caught fire. The blaze destroyed their kitchen and garage. Smoke and water ruined nearly everything else."

They lost everything. How about we give them a belated wedding present of some much-needed relief? This fundraiser will be open for the rest of March, and any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated and put to good use.

Please feel free (encouraged, even!) to spread the word, I'm sure they can use all the help they can get.

Hugs for Help for Enzo and Shannon.

March 16th, 2011

You guys. Less than 24 hours, and we've met the goal of $1000. Unbelievable job, everyone. Thank you all so much for your support and generosity. The initial response has been overwhelming.


But... now I feel kind of drunk with power. The cost of living in Hawaii is famously high, let alone the cost of starting over from scratch. Can we blow past that goal, smashing it into little bits? I think we can! 

Our friends can use all the help we can give, and therefore I'm keeping this fundraiser open. Keep spreading the word, and maybe we can raise a few more thousand before all is said and done.

Thank you with a capital THANK YOU. This has been amazing, and there's no way I could have reached this many people and raised this much money without all of your help. Real-live superheroes, every one of you.

Thanks again (and again and again),
troppy
