Here is what he says:
"Hi everyone. I have a big request for help. The grant I requested still hasn't materialized and time is running out. With the size of this event growing significantly we have bills piling up for necessities and without a firm budget in place it is very difficult to proceed. I am promised the grant will come through but no check issuance date has been given.
