A quick thanks to everyone who donated money to help get Dilla’s daughters some Christmas presents from his fans. I’m about to wrap things up and put some sparkle on them, but I thought you might like to see what we ended up getting (remind me to start this earlier next year…I have been running around headless all week!) I was talking to Madukes today, and she thinks they’re going to be surprised!

No one will be turned away from the door due to lack of funds.

Dibbs is no longer able to work due to his debilitating condition, so we’re kindly requesting that people step up and help ease the financial pains while he deals with the physical ones. Any amount would help. To donate money you can go Paypal to the address: Hellkitchen@netzero.com (Mr. Dibb’s wife, Kristin Rose’s account).
