The first holiday since April’s life-saving surgery was spent with her family. There were many smiles and thanks given.
She went to West Chester, PA, on the train (a gift from her sister and adopted mother) to relax into the joy of a Christmas at home. What a miracle, considering, at one point, leaving the hospital was a long wait ahead. April has come so far.
As the new year was ushered in, April's fundraising team shared gratitude and awe that we had made it this far. We could not have done it without the help of so many people.
As of 1/1/2023, we have had over 166 donations and have raised a total of $17,840 from April’s Go Fund Me account and another $5,000 from a private donor. Included are many gifts and other private contributions of needed things, from gift cards for Uber rides from her surgery recovery team to gift cards to local grocery stores.
At this point, we need to raise $4,780.00 for the last two months of April's recovery apartment rent. WE ARE ALMOST THERE!
She will then move on to the next stage of autonomous living. We are looking forward to this exciting step of her healing journey.
It has been imperative for April to have access to the hospital when she needed it for routine appointments and intermittent stepping stones of emergency help. We are so very grateful to all of you for making this possible.
Thank you, and we wish you all an incredible 2023!
