Week 3

Hey Everyone,

So it was a slow week this week. I gave my great friend, who is also my boss, a letter that I typed up to give the parents of my work discussing the bake-sale. I work with an awesome bunch of kids and I will be asking their parents to donate some bake goods for the bake-sale. The letter will go out February 1st, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it goes as amazing as last year. So many parents donated and praised the foundation for all of the help they are putting out there.
I made an announcement at a work meeting last night about the bake-sale. I still get really nervous and emotional speaking about my mom. They seemed to be really excited about it, and I had some questioned asked. A truly nice woman came up and gave me a hug thanking me for the support. It was really refreshing to have that, it keeps me going.
I just heard about an hour ago that Miley Cyrus supports suicide prevention! I'm really happy about it because she is seen by so many youth as a role model, and this is a great thing to be taught. So thanks Miley for showing your support, it is truly appreciated.
Well guys, my economics homework is calling my name. Thank-you all for your support. I hope you all have a great week. And as always, thanks for saving lives!

Week 2 Plus Some

Hey Everyone,

It's been a little over a week, but I waited a little extra because I was waiting to iron out a fundraiser. So I heard the news today that at my job I was approved to do a bake sale! So on February 16th, "Fat Tuesday", the bake sale will take place. I was astatic when I heard the news, and I owe a big THANK-YOU to the West Shore YMCA for allowing me to raise money again there for this amazing cause and help promote suicide prevention.
Things are starting to fall into place, but I started school this week, so I've had to put my focus on the academics. It's always hard to think that when I moving on with my life, my mom is not there to see it...But I'm glad I can help prevent this from happening to others. Thank-you all again for your support and helping to save lives! I hope you all have a great week!
