Posting Updates

• Let your supporters know how grateful you are for their help so far
• Give an update on how you (or your beneficiary) is doing—and share a photo! 
• Simply ask supporters to continue sharing the fundraiser to get the word out—this is the most important thing
• If applicable, share some of the kind comments that donors have posted with their donations
• If you still need support, remind supporters that even a $5 donation or a share will get you closer to fulfilling your goal

Here is an example of what an update might look like: 

Hi everyone, I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your thoughts and donations which have made a big difference for my sick puppy.  

Sparky thanks you too and is feeling a bit better today after his trip to the vet earlier. He'll need to go back next week for more shots.  If you can, please share our fundraiser link <link> with 3 animal lovers you know over social media, email, or text with a quick message about why you donated. Spreading the word is a huge help to us as Sparky continues to recover. More photos to come next week!

Here is what your donors will see when they receive an update email from you:
