Price tag? You’ve seen the credit card commercial,,, priceless. (But if you must have a dollar amount, about $40,000 to do this and publish the book,,, so if you would like to donate, see the contact page.)
As a personal note from Bucket,,, Or, two.
“When you see me, the “Mile Long Letter to the President!” will be near by,,, so please, share your thoughts and heart.”
“Been through hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, a blizzard or two, earthquakes and a broken true-love’s heart. I can’t wait to get to KatrinaLand and be around kids who come away from the disasters they have endured, with the same result as me,,, eyes to their future,,, hands just aching to help,,, hearts waking up smiling to see what wonders life has delivered over night.”
