So it has been a very busy week! All the parents at the day care that I work at were notified of the fundraising that I am doing. A good group of parents already said that they would donate to the bake sale! The social worker at my high school told this week me how sadly a senior this past fall took his life. It was saddening to hear of the loss of a life, and I want to send my condolences to his family. She stated that I could chat with my old high-school counselor to set up flyers about my fundraising. The next day I was in my walked through the old halls of my high-school and talked to my amazing counselor. I told her about all the amazing opportunities I've had with raising awareness about this cause. Then we got down to the true reason I was there, to raise awareness for suicide prevention. She was very excited about the idea, and told me today that the flyers about the bake sale are already posted in the school!
While in my exhausting biology class I began talking to a sweet girl about my fundraising. And right off the bat she wanted to help. She told me of those that she had lost and friends of friends who have lost someone. It was again very saddening to hear, and I send them all my condolences. This re-enforces that something needs to be done.
While dropping off the sign-up sheet for my bake sale at my work, I had six people already sign up! How awesome!
This week is a lot of prep and baking on the weekend. Thank-you all for your support and help! And as always, thanks for saving lives!
