DoubleD said:
I, for one, don't care how hard she 'tries'. I would love to hear that she went out there and played comfortably not thinking that she might let someone down.

Totally agree. This is not about her winning, it's about her living her dream. Johnnyt
 
Amazing! Thanks for the awesome thread Melinda and thanks to everyone for contributing! I'm sure Ashley will be ecstatic!
 
Super!!

It is fantastic that the forum could pull together and raise $1200 for Ashley's dream overnight. A lot of us gave a little, when the time is right we should remember that this fine young man gave the money that was to fund his dream.

Melinda ,

I think what your doing is great. I know how Ashly must feel. Manny was broken hearted that we did not have any sponsors to help us get him to the BEF nationals this year, It would have been his first trip there. He was so much looking forward to doing well there at the nationals and try to represent the US at the world jr championship.


Well anyway we want to help Ashley out and Manny is taking money out of his tournament fund to help her, It ain`t much but its what he has. Tell Ashley good luck from me and the Kansas city kid ( Manny Perez).

Outstanding!

:thumbup:Another example of the character of the AZ community.

The amazing and immediate response is pretty cool-considering members are donating not investing. Helping a fellow pool player chase a dream can certainly be reason enough.

Trigger-and everyone else-great job! (AGAIN!!)

i had a similar thought. on one hand, she might really buckle down and try her hardest... maybe too hard; on the other hand this could be the inspiration/motivation she needed to help her game to the next level.

obviously we all want to see her do well, but i'm pretty sure that she'll be putting herself under enough pressure, and I really hope she doesn't add an extra because of this.

I wish the same. Thanks for pointing it out johnny. And trig, I hope you relay our wishes to her. please accept my small donation and have her use it for whatever she can...,
 
Great Job

Melinda,

Great job. Too bad I don't log in as much anymore or I could have helped.

Tell Ashley good luck for me
 
I know the goal has been reached already...but I sent a small contribution anyhow. She can use it to buy herself a souvenir or something!

So true Maniac...except she will not have that opportunity at this event. I will not be playing the US Open this year. Too much on my plate at home...the timing was just off for me to play this year.

So...she will just have to get invited to another pro event in order for her to have her shot at beating me :grin:

I am so moved! :love: :hug: I have been tearing up all morning with every post and every donation (and even as I type this out I am overwhelmed). Each donation has a little comment and the words are so moving. I plan to send them all to Ashley. And the awesome emails you have sent back are truly touching.

I can't begin to put into words how mush I appreciate you all because I'm so overcome with emotions....
