Contributions for the memorial fund in honor of Mrs. Servetus closed yesterday at midnight. I saved every notification from PayPal in a separate folder and tabulated each donation as they arrived. After double and triple checking, the final tally was $762.50 (U.S. dollars). (Told ya this was enough to buy an iDevice).
As you know, RA has four charities on his JustGiving page. The winning charity was chosen by the scientific process of closing my eyes and pointing a finger at the screen. The finger landed on – The Salvation Army. So the entire amount went to this charity. For transparency sake, here is the receipt:
Here is the entry posted to RA’s message page:
I want to thank FedoraLady who helped brainstorm the idea as well as all the others who helped pass the word:

It’s amazing when people can come together at times like these. I’m proud to be part of such a community.
Wow. Wow ….
[crying].
Hey Servetus – I’m commenting here because the ‘thank you’ post on your blog is closed. But your OT post reminds me of a nice quote on the dedication page of my college textbook “Financial Assets, Markets, and Institutions”!!!!! Yes, you read that correctly!!! 😀
And the quote on the dedication page of my financial markets textbook is simply, “Goodness is the only investment that never fails” – Henry David Thoreau.
Wise and unexpected words for the front of a financial markets textbook, I’d say!! But the same also holds true for Love. xoxo

I personally tend to love without confidence (sort of hope against reason). But in the end, it didn’t fail; it was enough.
Great!! So happy to have been part of this project. Thanks so much for taking the lead, judiang!! We love you, Serv!! 😀
Well Done, Judiang!
This memorial fundraising effort is a great tribute to mothers and daughters, friendship, and the goodness inherent in Richard Armitage fans.
Love & Hugs! Grati ;->
Thanks so much to you and all who had apart in it!
That is an impressive amount, I have to say. Credit to you Judi, and all who organised, plus credit to Servetus and her mom.
What a wonderful result. I am so glad to be part of this.
Thank you Judi for the organization and to all who’d contributed!!!
Yay!! Well done, Judi!! Thanks for the update and final tally!! 🙂
That’s great, thanks Judi. 🙂
I was very happy to participate and bring my contribution to this donation. 🙂
What a great result. I am honored to have been a part of this and this group. Donating to one charity instead of splitting it up is the best way, IMO.
This is a wonderful (and meaningful) result.
Thank you so much for organising.
What a fabulous result! 🙂
Thanks Judi and Angie for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I am proud to be a part of this wonderful Armitage community.
Wow! Thank you again Judi and the others who had the idea and helped to make this possible. I’m happy that we all together accomplished such a wonderful act of friendship and solidarity.

Thanks to the people that thought and organized this manifestation of love to our Servetus and her mom. It was the best way to be near her and do something good. Stunning result! Love to all. I’m proud to be in Armitage Army.
I’m crying too! What a beautiful result of the shared love and admiration for Richard Armitage and our dear friend Servetus. Thanks so much, Judi, for organizing this.
A wonderful effort by all concerned.
Thank you to Judi, Angie and all the bloggers involved for giving us the opportunity to honour an extraordinary woman and her extraordinary daughter.
This made me teary as well, Serv. Thank you to all of you who set this up and alerted the community. What a wonderful thing it is to be a part of such a caring group.
