The final accounting

12/2/2017

4 Comments

 
In the end of October, I wrote a post about my 2 year old daughter, Thalia, and her treatment for stage four neuroblastoma, a common childhood cancer. Thalia was diagnosed in Jan this year and has received such amazing treatment from our pediatric hospital here in Toronto, The Hospital for Sick Children, informally known as SickKids.  I put out the call to all of you to help me raise funds throughout November to make a donation to support SickKids, so they can continue to give impeccable care to children like Thalia. And you blew us away. 

In November, I received $282.57 USD from direct PDF orders on my website ($302 minus Paypal's transaction fees). I received $307.14 USD on DrivethruRPG. This adds to a total of $589.71 USD. Converted into CAD, this is $748 CAD. I also received a direct donation of $50, which I will add to the total, bringing the amount to $798 - this is the amount I will be donating in the next few days once the money all gets into one spot. I'll post pics/receipts from the donation once I get that sorted out. 

In addition, one person donated $100 themselves to SickKids Foundation. So the total raised was around $900!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed, who brought in friends who contributed, or just shared the post so it reached a larger audience.

The final accounting represents a comprehensive overview of financial transactions, summarizing income, expenses, and net outcomes. It’s crucial for evaluating the overall financial health and making informed decisions.

Jim McGarva's initiative to support The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto is truly commendable. By donating all proceeds from Strike! product sales in November 2017, he exemplified how personal experiences can drive impactful community support. Raising approximately $900 CAD, Jim's efforts not only provided financial assistance but also raised awareness for pediatric cancer care. His transparency in sharing the fundraising process further underscores his integrity and dedication.

How do you manage multiple revenue sources for donations? Tracking different payments ensures transparency and makes it easier to contribute effectively.

This keeps it brief while still conveying engagement!
