Update - An Unbelievable Thank You
There are no words for what just happened today.
I asked to raise $1000 by Saturday night, with a video promise of eating a bowl of ice cream on air (as it were) if we met that goal, as a challenge to myself to honor you all and your kindness.
We are now at $2720.
…In the words of my boyfriend, I’m going to have to eat a lot of ice cream.
