Was that gift from an individual or is that across the board? What was the highest amount of gift that you received for GiveSendGo from an individual?

Essentially, out of the $640,000, how much of that might have ended up in your charity?

Co-Founder, GiveSendGo

Jacob Wells

Very little of it. We don't fund the charity. Currently the charity raises its own funds for various causes.

Thank you.

That's the extent of my questions. My time is up.

I have a point of order.

I just want to let Mr. Wells know that the name of the police officer who died at Capitol Hill was Brian Sicknick. He was 42 years old.

Thank you.
