Beyond our letters and appeals

I was not sure what to title this post. It is a good problem that I have so many thank you posts that I am running out of titles! Over Christmas we had two very generous and very surprising gifts. Both were $500. The first was from David's great aunt Vonnie and her husband Roger. They said that at the end of the year they look to see what they have left and look for a worthy cause to donate the money to. This year (actually last year 2007), they picked us! It was such a blessing and such a surprise. Vonnie is David's Grandma's only living sibling. His grandma Roma died a few years ago. The R in Elizabeth Rose is for Grandma Roma.

The second gift came from friends of ours that I imagine would want to remain anonymous. When they gave us the check both David and I were so surprised and so choked up. They are wonderful friends and have been so supportive, but we never imagined they would be financially supportive too.

Thank you to both families!
