Kid not included, by the way.
With the bed ordered and expected to arrive early next week, and the sheets and blanket arriving any day, all that is left is to get the mattress, mattress pad, pillow and support for the mattress. I think I will just cut a piece of plywood to their specifications as suggested.
So, grand total? After those purchases, we have $218.38 left. I know that's enough to get the remaining items, so I will have a small check for the family as well, which is great. Of course, donations are still being accepted if you want to help out!
I will leave the donation button open through Friday at midnight. It takes a few days for that money to transfer to my bank account, so I want to be able to cut them a check when i deliver it.
I'll post pics of the delivery and James (the kiddo) as well when all of that happens.
I'm still floored that in three days, we've raised $476.44 for a kid that none of us know. I know I've got another $40 coming as well, so that will put us over $500. You've opened your hearts, your wallets... It means a lot to me to know that you people exist in my world. Makes things a little warmer, you know?
More to come!

How did it all turn out?
Gah, i suck so bad at updating. I completely abandoned my thread. Damn you, Facebook.
Everything turned out great. I took the bed and all the extras down there and set it all up for him. The kid was very thankful and he, his sister and his brother were loving it (and loving hanging from my arms and legs, too).
We were able to get a bed and all the acoutrements, as well as some other Cars stuff that was donated so we could dress up his room.
I confess, writing for a living has severely stopped my casual writing. I need to find a balance!
