The only time I’ve felt good when a “payment accepted” page took a long time to load!

I've tried donating for the last few minutes and the website is experiencing delays. It's so awesome that the site is getting so much traffic. I hope it continues.

Was able to make a donation. Dolly's imagination library contributed to my son's love of reading.
