Thank You

Here's the thank you note Bekah is posting through Give Forward.  Some of you gave anonymously, so I'm also posting it here since I can't thank you personally.  You guys are amazing!

Dear friends,

 

I'm sorry I didn't get this thank you out sooner, but how do you thank people for something so important?  I am really blessed by all of you - though the Give Foward website doesn't reflect it, some people also gave to me personally, and with all the gifts combined you guys raised over $8,000 for me!  That's monumental, and I am extremely grateful.  If you guys hadn't pulled together and been so gracious, I would've had to wait at least one more year before I could afford surgery.  So thank you.  Thanks for caring about me.  Thanks for helping me in my greatest hour of need.  This experience of opening up about the disease and accepting help from my community has grown me in big ways and helped me understand how we ought to care for and interact with one another. I am really overwhelmed.  Really and truly.  I mean, $8000!  That's a lot of love. :)

 

Bekah will continue to post updates on the Give Forward website and on Facebook if you would like to hear how surgery goes.  After all, you paid for it!  Oh, and I also found out they record the whole thing and I get a copy, so in some ways you could see it as having funded a full-length motion picture.  Movie night, anyone? ;)

 

Thank you again, so very much.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

 

Love,

Rachel
