I consider myself pretty lucky! I have a supportive and loving family, and I also have amazing friends. In november my sister had planned a fundraiser for me to help cover some of the cost for my surgery. I was not expecting much of a turn out simply because I thought (especially in this economy) people have lots of other way more important things to spend their money on.
I was so moved and touched when by the end of the night we found we had raised over $2,000! It helped me get that much closer to my goal!
