Buy Now Button Update

Looks like I've got the button updated to handle shipping correctly now. If you are ordering from somewhere in Colorado, there is no shipping fee (we'll hand deliver it to you), but anywhere else in the lower 48 will cost $2 per t-shirt. Don't forget if you order through PayPal, although tax is included in the cost of the t-shirt, we're using the tax function of PayPal to offset the 2.9% + 30¢ PayPal charges per transaction.

We had hoped checks could be made out to "ellafan fund" but the banks are being a pain in the a$$ about that. So, until we work that out, if you're going to pay by check, please make checks out to Ella directly and we'll be able to submit them to our account on her behalf.

Thanks again to everyone for your support.

So grateful!

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone that has either purchased a t-shirt through the buttons on the left here or made a donation. Your love and willingness to help us support our darling baby girl means the world to us.

Just a couple of quick comments about those buttons on the left.

I have a personal business account with PayPal (got the debit card and everything), but that means that to receive money, especially through buttons like those on the left, PayPal charges us a nominal fee of 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction. So, the $16 for local orders or $18 for out-of-state orders does include tax, but the 2.9% "tax" the form shows when you order is to help cover that transaction fee.

Also, for some reason, if you are ordering just one shirt it's charging you a $2 shipping fee on top of the $18 (which was different from the $16 local fee to cover shipping). I understand that sometimes just making the effort to purchase the shirt to begin with was a stretch on your budget and we don't want to take advantage of your generosity. So, accordingly, if you would like us to refund that extra $2 we will gladly do so. Just let me know here or in response to the e-mail we're sending everyone affected.

Thanks again everyone. Your support means the world to Amanda and me and Ella.
