I had this realization while I was driving the kids around after school. I was thinking about all the people who said they would donate money. Most were family members--already Amanda has said money is coming to her mail box or through the web site. I think I had over 10 emails of people who said they would give, I am sure there were many more who donated without even letting me know. One person was someone I hadn't talked too since 2007. I then noticed my old Oxford congregation (the church we attended with the Flamms while living in England for a year) was holding a ward activity to fund raise for the Flamms. I had another friend from Sydney sew a quilt for the Flamms (do you have any idea how much that will cost to ship to the USA?....hahahaha).
Honestly, I couldn't believe it! I thought, I have good friends....no really I HAVE REALLY GOOD people around me who support any cause I am worried about; and I just can't believe it!
I maybe spent 10 minutes emailing or FBing an update about the Flamms and already their family has been helped so much! Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks, because I know that if anything were to happen to us you guys would all be there for me. I know you would because you have all been so generous to a complete stranger just because I asked you to be! So thank you--Thank you so much!!!
She has lost all her hair again and just underwent an unnecessary surgery...which is bad because her body has no immune system right now and she is fighting so hard with the chemo that I don't think her little body can handle repairing something else right now. What a pain! Anyway, I will keep you posted on her progress.
