We're Back!!!!!

Hey everyone!  My last post was in November, when Will had his surgery, the loan fell through, and we had to stop treatment.  It was a very depressing time for both of us.  However, I am NOT the kind of person who takes no for an answer!  I decided to set a goal: raise, save, and make money any way I can to come up with $14,000 by June.

Over the past 7 months, I have sold Scentsy, sold chocolates, raised money on our internet website, paid off my credit card, and worked really hard to raise my credit score.  We held a spaghetti dinner at $10 a plate and had a huge yard sale.  We have been non stop trying to raise the money since November.  And let me tell you, it has been exhausting.

After all of our efforts, we raised $7,500.  Seems like a lot, but remember, we had to have $14,000.  I decided to resubmit an application for medical financing, and was able to get a loan for $6,000.  This left us with $500.  My mom gave me some help and, YAY! we went to NFC and are now paid in full. We get to start again next week!

I can't tell you how excited I am to be writing this post.  I busted my tail to get to this point, and I knew I could accomplish my goal.  So I guess the moral of the story is, if a door keeps getting slammed in your face, don't quit. Don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't do something, because if you want it bad enough, you will find a way!! I know I did!! Thank you so much to everyone who helped us raise so much money, I really could not have done this without sooo much support!!

It's good to be back!! Here is a picture of me at NFC, with the check for our balance!
