Money Raised! Transfer in Progress!
Y-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are happy to report that we have been able to raise the entire amount of the note being called by our bank: $250,000. (The blogger is almost too stunned to be able to type in that amount!)
Coincidentally, our attorneys were able to arrange a two-week extension, or “forbearance” period, yesterday. It will take up to seven days for funds being transferred from overseas to arrive in the KPC account.
As you may know, through our Tuesday and Wednesday evening webcast telethons, we raised a total of $205,126. A lot of people made this possible! We had worldwide support–with donations ranging from $5 to $10,000.
Then, at the end, a donor came forward with the offer to cover whatever we were not able to raise to meet the amount due. That donor wishes to remain anonymous.
In addition, His Holiness Karma Kuchen Rinpoche, 12th Throne Holder of the Palyul Lineage, offered a loan of $50,000, in support of the work of Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo at KPC. Fortunately, we did not have to accept his offer because of the generous stop-gap donation. (But we understand that the business manager for His Holiness stayed up all night in case the funds needed to be wired!)
We are thrilled and grateful beyond belief! We thank our Precious Guru, Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo, for her blessing and for providing our connection with the precious Palyul Lineage. We thank our Lineage Masters, whose loving support during this crisis was incalculable, and, of course, we thank the generous donors who made this outcome possible! E Ma Ho!

Thank you Jetsunma for your wisdom and guidance. I’d also like to thank all of you who also stayed up Wednesday and Thursday nights operating the mic, phone, email, chatline, and filming. All those who made pleas with supporters, colleagues, banks, credit cards, piggy banks, and aunts/uncles
In addition to the wonderful generosity of ALL donors, thanks also to those who were in the Dharma room during the telethons including the Ordained, and Tara who sang so beautifully Wednesday night for all to enjoy, all the while with the ongoing prayer vigil being kept in the next room. E Ma Ho! Love to you all!
