I am right there with all of my dear friends, in tears when I saw this site. I spent some time in th ER with a bug I caught and dehydration so slept many hours after coming home. When I came downstairs, there was a post it note on my computer screen with the websites address.......and I think I lost all the fluids they gave me at the ER in tears. How can one woman be so very blessed. I am just a simple woman that has never done anything out of the ordinary, yet here I have something so extraordinary. God is certainly good.

The website is working for us, the support is overwhelming. We have a local business right on the strip (Va. Beach) that is letting us take over their Happy Hour from 3pm-whenever on Sept. 30th and already we have throngs of people coming. They are going to donate every penny of their proceeds for that evening to our fund. We also had a $5000 donation from a local business man today, which boosted everyones spirits greatly! We are calling tomorrow to set my surgery from the 4th to the 8th, we're worried we won't reach the goal so are buying ourselves another weekend.

Amy, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your idea of putting our insurance companies name in bold print on the site. It's Anthem Healthkeepers of Va. for anyone that would like to know. We also had one person advise us to make some signs and take all the girls and grandaugthers down to their local office and picket. He said it WILL bring the news cameras. So, we're considering doing that. My husband also is talking to a lawyer about our rights.

We have free tshirts that have been printed up and dontated to us, beautiful ones. Banners to put up, just everyone pitching in to help. Human nature should never be doubted!

Thank you from my heart to you that have donated. What you give me here is priceless, the friendships, the understanding, etc.

Much love,
Minnie
