Well Guys, this is it! We're calling it while we're still ahead. We have been trying to raise more money to get us to the next level, but we couldn't get there.

So now we want to tell you all thank you for your support, your love and your engagement over this past year. We are working with Kiva to keep on track with repayments to all of you, our supporters. Kiva is a great platform for people to fund their ideas and dreams. Thank you again for allowing us to try and fulfill ours.
