Hey friends,

With just 9 days left in the campaign, I wanted to take a moment to say: thank you. Whether you backed, shared, commented, or just cheered me on silently—your support has meant everything during this wild, emotional ride.

This campaign didn’t unfold the way I dreamed. As of today, it looks like we won’t reach the funding goal to bring the 40” pandas to life just yet. And that’s okay.

I know it can feel confusing or scary to back a crowdfunding campaign, especially when it looks like it might not hit the goal. I’ve seen some pledges come and go—which is totally okay and expected—but just so you know: your card won’t be charged unless we reach the full goal. So if you're still cheering for these plushies, keeping your pledge in place is a huge help all the way through the final day. 💗

This isn’t the end of the dream—it’s just the beginning of the next phase. I’ve learned so much through this process and I’ll be taking all of that into the next chapter of Luchini.

If you want to keep following the story (and help decide what comes next), make sure you’re following me here:

From the bottom of my pink panda heart: thank you.
