What happens when posts are done at 12:00 AM? I forget to write something I meant to write!
This first week in July brings a lot of memories with it. On July 1, a year ago, I left for China to see if anything could be done to increase Katie’s chances of finding a 10/10 bone marrow match. I was in China on the 4th of July (odd!) and returned July 10th. The trip to China would not have happened without the generous support of many people whom I would like to thank now (in case I forgot to do this last year.)
Thank you to Monica M., Linda W., and Carol G. for helping me in the decision-making process on whether to go to China or not.
Thank you to Susan W. for having a yard-sale to help raise funds for the trip.
Thank you to all the people who donated items for the yard-sale; thank you to those who contributed financially.
Thank you to my brother, Jerry, who freely gave me his air-miles to use.
Thank you to Allison B., (FCC) for using her internet skills to help rally support for us.
Thank you to Jenny B. from Half the Sky, for all of the assistance you and your organization gave to me, especially with translation while in China.
Thank you to Roberta Lipson and her staff from United Family Hospital and Clinics in Beijing for all of the help she provided me while in China.
A special thank you to each of the families who paid to have their adopted child tested as a potential match for Katie. What amazing people you are!
And, finally, thank you to those of you who prayed and supported my family in various other ways during that ten day window of time. I may not remember everyone’s name or service…but, the Lord does! God bless you for reaching out to our family during that period of time.
I am eternally grateful.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:23-26)
