Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban requested that media outlets that published their wedding photograph send contributions to a children's hospital in Australia; however, the hospital reports that it has only received about seven donations averaging just over $500 apiece.
This sentence contains a misplaced modifier. The placement of "only" next to the verb implies that all the hospital did was receive the donations: it did not log them as charitable contributions or put them in the bank; it only received them. The word "only" should be located before "about seven" as it should emphasize the relatively small number of donations that the hospital received.
