We’ve got good news and we’ve got bad news, john. 

Let’s start with the bad news: We came up short of our mid-month fundraising goal. 

The good news? We *just* missed it. We were so close, in fact, that our team is pretty confident we’ll be able to make up the difference with donations to this email — the one you’re reading right now. 

If each of you reading this email chips in just $5, we’ll close the gap today. This is only possible with your help, so we’re asking you to dig deep and rush a $5 contribution to get us back on track.

Thanks, 

Team Ford
