PRA barely makes enough to pay our bills, so 100% is going towards us. I
can't wait till we don't have a huge list of things we need to upgrade/get.
Saffron and I used to have to pay rent out of our own pockets, so PRA
definitely need all the money we can get. I hope that makes sense. It's
not being greedy, it's our of necessity!!!
Shoot me a personal email if you have more ?s ...
