$26 in recorded gifts is not assigned to the items shown here. It counts in the total above and is left out of the item bars.
These are aggregate website records. PayPal gifts are not currently synchronized automatically, so these figures may be incomplete. They do not verify payment settlement or supplies delivered. Donor names and individual gifts are not displayed here.
