She went in on the 5th of August and they locked her up for a while.

Her primary goal was $1,000

Secondary goal was $500

once she surpassed the secondary goal amount of $500, the event was waning towards reaching its conclusion and she posted her bail

all total i think our community raised some $40,000+

area businesses volunteered their workers to go to jail... my wife was one of them. From her company i think there were 4 other people.

her bail amount was the highest from within her company.

I'm very proud to say that the subsim community made up about 60% of her total bail amount - if i sat to do the math im sure my estimate of 60% is on the low side.

well done guys... i can promise there is a child out there who is benefiting from that money as i post this.

EDIT: We didn't quite get 100 donations through subsim - but the donations we did receive through subsim were quite generous. Neal insisted that i not donate to subsim for each member who contributed as we had originally agreed - that instead i should donate the final tally to the March of Dimes... it was mighty big of him... but in the end subsim received a very modest contribution anyhow
