Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the MuckFest this year. MS sucks! (On SO many different levels!) Elle came to sit by me after Nick already had helped me onto the table. My Mom was still by me and she also sat down. I looked at her as she started talking and she told me that a donation was made to my account. She told us the amount and my Mom started to cry. This donation would pay foe over two weeks of training for me!
I was shocked and asked who donated. A woman whose daughter is also a first stepper was the one who donated. Her daughter would finish just as I would get there. I first saw her when I worked with Adam and got to know her more back when I worked with Mike Rhoades. I very much enjoyed watching her progress and I often spoke with her mother while she trained. I count these women as my friends now and they both understand how difficult the work first steppers do at Barwis.
This woman donated to my account because she believes in Barwis Methods because of all of the wonderful work they have done with her daughter and she also believes in me. I didn’t cry but was very moved by this donation. It was the first donation I received. (Actually, I take that back! – my mom donated some money to me when the donation site was set up. Thanks mom! Every little bit counts and DEFINITELY helps because as Jesse said, “I’m a lifer!” And I don’t mind that fact in the least!
