In less than 24 hours, RPR got 3.7k out of the 5k goal. I don't know about other people, but that absolutely amazes me. Kim planned for it to happen for 45 days; at this rate, she won't need to have it up for more than a month.

I never thought I'd see a community raise so much in less than a day. This is exactly why I love RPR <3

It's been an absolute treat seeing the community response in such a short amount of time! And there are so many people still who are waiting for paychecks before donating, so I'm very hopeful we'll make the goal in no time and can extend the goal.
>_< I can't get anything until next month but I've already got 74$ of stuff in my cart!! Including a phoenix.


I want a purple phoenix...so...next month I'll probably keep buying cinammon sticks until my phoenix turns purple for me lol.
Yes it's really heartwarming. I've never seen anything like it either on any website. Everyone is so generous here.

At this rate if the bake sale lasts the entire 45 days we'll probably be well over 5000$

I have been routinely crying and screaming with profound wonder and joy and shock. I feel so supported. I feel the community's love.

We all love ya Kim <3
When I went looking for a roleplay website, never in a million years did I think I'd find a place like this! The community, moderation, and administration is absolutely incredible here!

Side note, over 4,000 now!
I really want to help out! Unfortunately, I don’t start my job till next week.


I’m happy everyone is so generous here! Crazy how much RPR has raised already!

Just three hundred some dollars plus pocket change to go to hit the target!

We love you too Kim! What makes RPR different from other sites is the love, dedication, and the long hours of hard work you put in to this wonderful playground we enjoy!
I'm so happy to be part of such a generous community! I'm also really happy that there were things offered at such a wide range of prices. :)
Well she better not take it down, because I want to support RPR too! Just had to wait a bit..

Don't worry, it will run for the full 45 days! :) Lots of people are waiting for payday and Kim wouldn't want them to miss out on their goodies.

45 days! Let’s make the goal $10000! It is worthy every penny!

I was only able to get cookies, cinnamon, and some bacon due to my PayPal being tied to my USA bank account that is making that sucking bubbly sound of a straw in a drained cup. I’ll have plenty in the Australian cup tomorrow (yay pay day) but I need to remember my soulmate’s PayPal password. :D (I want a Phoenix)

I don't know if I'll be able to contribute, sadly. Someone on RPR amazingly sent me some money through PayPal so I could, but when it converted over from GBP to USD PayPal somehow amazingly made it come up $0.11 short. I don't want to be rude and a pain and point it out so they'd have to send more ;w;

That probably has something to do with the way PayPal converts the money? I know they claim to profit off of it so that would be my guess. So you're not left out, however, I'm willing to send you a dollar if you want to PM your paypal over to me 😂😂

Ah yes, the curse of predatory exchange rates. Don’t get me started...

Bloody banks/PayPal/Transferwise/Forex, etc all want to take their cut off the top for virtually doing nothing but pushing a few buttons. I had to transfer money from my USA account to my Australian account a while back, and my USA bank charged me forty bucks U.S.to do an international transfer, and my Australian bank charged me fifteen bucks AU to receive it. Once I cleared my transfer e-documents the exchange happened almost immediately.

Ok, end of international financial rant. I do hope to have enough in this pay cycle budget to get a bunch of stuff and have fun with some like that cool dice raffle that took place while I was asleep.
