Update from Kamalas kickstarter KAMALAS HEALTH - As you know, Kamala went back in the hospital about a month ago and this unfortunately slowed down the process of his Kamala Speaks book fundraiser. However, it by no means ended the book and we can finally now finish things up! Kamala has since made it home and is feeling better after about a month with Peritonitis, a serious stomach infection that was life-threatening. Kamala was able to have Thanksgiving with Koko B. Ware who brought a great turkey to Kamalas bedside, proving that he really is a great friend - and also a Bird Man. TIMING - Since Kamala is finally home, he was able to go over the final layouts and give the green light to print the book. This morning we sent funding to our printers in Michigan and the project should be printed and finished in a few weeks! It looks as if being printed for Christmas is possible, but more realistically I think it will be ready to ship (along with other combo rewards) shortly thereafter. (It will be close.) HOLIDAY GIFT-GIVERS - You were all super patient and realized that this project was to help Kamala by the creation of a cool reward, and not just a product to buy. For this I thank you, again. Tons of emails came in expressing health first, when we announced his hospitalization, showing that you really are a great group of people. However, I still think it would be nice to have something you can wrap, if you were hoping to give the book as a gift. In our next update here, I will post a certificate that can wrapped right away in case the book doesnt make it to you by the 25th. It will be essentially a picture of Kamala you can print - telling the receiver that the gift of the book will be in hand in a week or so. BOOK PREORDERS - Pre-orders for additional books can be now made at KamalaSpeaks. GOFUNDME DONATION ACCOUNT - Our friend Jason King and The BleacherReport did an awesome job promoting the book fundraiser by interviewing Kamala just before he went back into the hospital. Because the Kickstarter had already finished, he attached a Kamala gofundme donation account that people could give to - to further help Kamala. Jasons interview (and the additional cash fundraiser) made it to the front page of CNN! It hit a whole different mainstream demographic and is now pushing $30,000. What great news for Kamala, who can now get a new ramp for his house, make his bathroom door larger and also fix the transmission on his truck. Super job Jason! Thanks so much everybody and we will post the book coming certificate.
