I want that kind of money. .w. lol
It's nice to see furries giving so much though. I wish Fernando the best of luck!

holy WOW.

very nice. Lamper and I look forward to eating there during AC

woot

good to hear

I saw someone mention this phrase before... "Feed the animals, and they'll keep coming back." I think this applies here.

Awesome! :3

Good to hear.
Even if he's forced to close by his landlord for that guy who was eyeing the place, at least we gave him a tidy nest egg to eliminate his business debts and keep him afloat for a bit.

There's no lack of available spaces in the nearby.... so even IF, Furnando's could EASILY be 'reborn'.

holy crap we raised that much within a few days? LIKE OMG! are they still rolling in or not?

I also passed it along so others on my list to see it as well. So here is my journal about it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3422038/.

Hey! I owe you! You were good to me at Megaplex. consider the shirt done!

Very heart warming, I really hope it helps him stay open and that the other buyer will back out n let him keep the place. Congrats everyone on being so kind hearted and generous. I look forward to eating at Furnando's a few times this year at AC n totally would die to get a hug from you Kage ^///^

That's great news! Furries make a difference. I think this will bring us into a better light. I wish I could have gone, but my funds were tied up into Wild Nights and the Safari's Zoo Charity. People cleaned up the camp site better than it was before we came and made a good impression in Oklahoma. AC is coming up. I have plans on attending. I'm glad that Fornando will be there so that I may get my lasagna wrap. And, I'll see you there with a surprise for Hello Bully.

Very awesome.

Wow that's awesome! This year will be my first AC too so I will defiantly have to go there now and have lunch! ^^

Let's hope the effort was worth it.

He might be gone next month, but at least his bills get paid.

Now we have yet another thing to throw in the face of those who claim furries are just weird and do no good..

Furries all over the world chipped in to raise a few bucks to keep Fernando's going untill AnthroCon 2012, and it resulted in almost 24.000$, to a guy who have become a friend of the furry fandom and who have become a part of the AnthroCon experience. To a guy, who we have waay too few of in the world.

We need more guys like him...

Damn....!

ACTUALLY come to think of it... I gave Fernando $200 in cash directly, so would not have been counted to the goal.... WE PASSED THE $24k MARK!

Whoa, there. I did count that into the total. Let's not get ahead of ourselves!

DID you, now? I stand corrected. (*SMILE*)

...and thank you again.

I know the question may sound derp but I'll ask anyway: Does the regular business from April 21st account into the 23.8k?

No, that just counts donations.

Glad to be part of such a wonderful, generous, diverse, and loving community.

WOO!

Awesome and great to hear!!!!! I helped as much as I could and fit didn't feel like much, But when so many pitch in. Wow!!!!!!

Definitely proud of our furry community right now. :)

Awesomesauce!
Can't wait to eat there at AC ^_^

I'm impressed and I'll be sure to go there sometime at AC to say Hi to him

That's awesome

Hopefully the economy will improve and his non-AC clientele will pick up so that he remains successful and in business permanently. And hopefully the generosity of the furry community will continue for the sponsored charity this year!

The tears must've been coming out, that's for sure.

So amazing! ^.=.^ I can't believe we did this in so short a time! :D Any word on how long he'll be able to stay open thanks to this? :D

yay!! :3

I was so happy to be a part of this, finally a way to give back not just to Furnando, but everyfur that goes to Furnandos! =^^=

Fernando's must be epic awesome.... I wish I was in the US to try it myself!! XD I hope he stays and will be there in the future when I can afford to fly so far!

Get in there!
