I just want to send out a HUGE, MASSIVE, AND ALL ENCOMPASSING thank you to each and every person that has been behind me every step of the way on this journey. I am so sooo soooooooo blessed to have the support of so many loving people. My first financial deadline is tomorrow, and over a week ago I mailed out the cheque that would put me above the $3500.00 mark….PRAISE GOD!

I would like to thank each and every person that contributed their time, money, and resources to helping pull off the Charity Casino Night fundraiser that took place last night. To my amazing Uncle Vytas and Aunt Amy who not only hosted the event at their home, but also came up with the idea and helped to plan and run the whole event, you two are absolutely incredible and your love and support for me are a massive blessing, I am so grateful to you both. To Harold and Reeta, my aunts parents, who have donated their time and finances, your encouragement is amazing! I look forward to reading the comments that you post on each and every one of my blogs! Mom, you have been behind me each and every step of the way, and without your love and support I would not be where I am today, thank you so much for helping me, for making sure everyone at the event was fed, and just for loving me so much. To my wonderful brothers and their beauty girlfriends, who contributed not only their time at the event, but also finances, prizes, ideas, and all of their friends, you da best! My amazing cousin Britnie, you rock girl! Without your mad bartending skillz and witty conversations the guests would have suffered….thank you so much for your support! To all of the family and friends that not only attended the event and spent all of their money, but also sold tickets and enouraged peeps to come, as well as ran games and tables for me….. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! This event went above and beyond all of my expectations, not only financially (this brings me a lot closer to out 2nd financial deadline mark for Dec 15th) but also because I was able to share with a ton of people what is on my heart and also gave me the opportunity to create new relationships and strengthen old ones.

Thank you God for being there every step of the way!
