Thanks, Tekka! Love, Celine

Celine:

This is Tekka, our adorable dog, interspersed with pictures of some of the merchandise you can get now when you donate to our film! Every donation —tax-deductible too—gets a decal which goes so nicely on your laptop or your window sill. Here’s Tekka at a red barn. And then a pic of our t-shirt! Yes! Then there’s me and Tekka asking you to donate in any amount to our fundraiser. We have two days and still have to raise $4200! Please help in any amount and get your name on this herstorical project. Please do it and go to http://www.celinearchive.com and click on donate now. From there, do not click on the orange button. Curious? Go to our site! Thanks to our supporters @aadocnetwork @thecelinearchive @somapilipinas @filipinawomen @vconline who know fundraising is hard. We hope Tekka inspires you to look at our plea.

I woke up to this! @ybca @vconline @filipinawomen @somapilipinas @thecelinearchive @aadocnetwork #filmfunding #feministfilm #filipinafilm #feministfilmmaking #digupherstory #withlakas

Weeeeeeee!!! I mean, Wiiiiiii!!! Shoutout to Dan!

I woke up today with donations from one of Lakas’ closest friends Bobby’s mom, my dear friend Cameron!

Then our Aunt Mary who wrote a kind note of support sent hers. Thank you!

Then my friend Paige whose wide-ranging generosity to me includes cheese, lipstick, yoga and now this!

A huge chunk soon landed from Andrea who leads Lakas Shimizu Service Learning STAR Award! She knew my sweet boy well. We talked about how we need to pass on stories good and bad.

Then one of my older son’s closest friends’ mom Ann came through with a very generous donation amidst all our discussions about Asian American Admissions! This is in addition to her donating one of the best treats available from their bakery @CraftsmanandWolves!

This is all right before Katie donated just now—she whom I am forever connected through our school volunteering and she gave a big boost!

Aaaahhhh!!! I am overwhelmed you all took me beyond the halfway point of my fundraising goal. Thank you for helping me make this movie as we lead our lives, raise our kids, work and volunteer together. We have a real bond and I am so grateful and fortunate for your friendship.

Please join the embrace of these dear women and move our donation bar to the goal! I have two days left to raise $4,200 at http://www.celinearchive.com. Donate now but don’t press the orange button!

Boosts! @vconline @aadocnetwork @somapilipinas @filipinawomen @ybca #digupherstory

I am writing you, Emmy, Shannon and Patrice, pouring my heartfelt thanks on this thirsty thick paper and my favorite pens. I am reflecting on our friendship that I feel and love.

Celine:

Fundraising is hard and friendship makes it better! Thank you to Nanci and Nikki for their inspiring and energizing donations that made me jump off my seat and not stop!

Nanci is the mom of a boy who came to my son Lakas’ class after he died. I see her as the friend he would have brought me through his friendship with her son. It’s true and real.

Nikki is the middle school good friend of my older son. And their lifetime friendship brings us together, our families together. Really connects us.

I am so grateful for your support! We need more voices– Asian American women’s voices– in our media–telling stories such as Celine Navarro’s. Thank you for believing in this and me!

Join Nanci and Nikki and go to http://www.celinearchive.com to make our donation bar move. We are at almost 20% of our goal! Remember it’s tax-deductible and helps mentor young women into the industry and employs a dazzling diversity independent filmmakers!

Enjoy the video of my jumping for joy!
