Michi Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 whoohoo:Ok you guys I just checked my paypal account and we have I think hit McKenna's goal, I can't believe it!!!! I'm sitting here shaking my head in total amazement!!!!!! I haven't actually calculated and I need to subtract out all the shipping moneys, but I'm pretty sure she has enough.Please do not send any more money!I cannot thank all of you who contributed to McKenna's fund enough, you really have shown what great, caring, kind, and giving people you are. I am so thankful and feel so blessed to know you all and to be a part of this board with the best group of people in the WHOLE world!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUI really cannot say this enough, no words can express the way I feel.I'm so happy that McKenna will be able to go on her trip you guys. She really does deserve it, she is such a blessing in my life. She is a good girl, a great student, a wonderful friend, and an AWESOME daughter.She has overcome great obstacles in her life (a small handicap) and has become a strong beautiful young woman that I am so very proud of.She just reminded me when I raced into her room yelling that she'd be going on her trip (b/c of all of YOU!!!!!) and she started crying and said, "Mom, that's the BEST birthday present I could ever receive!!" (her birthday is this Monday coming up ) She'll be 14. My baby girl is really growing up. Oh you guys have made me so happy-and there goes my makeup again. LOL I feel so cheesy saying thank you so much, but it just doesn't seem enough to me, I keep trying to find a way to say it better, to really SHOW/TELL you how much this means to our family!!!!!!!Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!I will get a final total once I go through and subtract out for those that have ordered candles. So, do not send anymore money, and I'll post the final total after a while.I'm gonna post this over in the off topic area also, since I know that Jennie linked my original post over there early this morning.

elle110 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Awesome, you don't need to day thank you, the best gift was being part of her being able to go. And stop it already, you have me balling again. I am a sucker for kids and cry at a drop of a hat when it comes to them. Heck, I can just be watching my babies play and I am in tears.So glad she is going, she is going to have a blast, and a great birthdayPeaceElleEdit to add: I am still in awe over the power a small group of people can have in making something happen in such a small amount of time. It strengthens my belief that good still prevails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniedb Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yay, Michi! I'm just thrilled!And please know that while gratitude is a wonderful thing, it is just as much a blessing for me (and I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of people here who contributed) to be a part of this event as it is for you to have been the recipient, KWIM? I think we've got a good grasp on how important this was and is to your family, and we are so blessed to have been able to be a part of it!
