Giving Hope

Hope that everyone is doing well. Well there are only six days left before the Extra Life starts, where I will be playing 24 hours to raises the money for the Hospital I am sponsoring. Last week I decided to visit the Hospital to see it in person. I was given a tour and met some of the children that were in the hospital. There is one child, a little girl name Sarah, that was the meeting that was the most powerful. She was suffering from a form of brain cancer that left her blind and among over problems. I sat down beside her and talked to her and I told her about what I and among the thousand and upon thousand of other people are doing. Her face light up, the kind that appears on a person face when they have faced despair for all their life. She told me that she had given up hope and didn't want to go through a surgery that can repair her eyes sight. I made her a little bet, I told her that if I reach 1000 by this coming Saturday, then she will have her eyes repair so she can see Hope with her own eyes. Before I left, she gave me that cloth arm bracelet she and her mother made before she was struck down with the cancer. She wanted me to wear it as proof of my goal and promise. And so i am still wearing it.
This will be the last time I will make a post about Extra Life, but I ask once again to anyone that reads this: I am at the halfway point at 500 dollars. I need to get 500 more to reached the goal before or on the 15th. You can donate as low as a dollar. and if 500 people were to donate a single dollar, that will add up. And whatever you donate is tax deductible for your tax return.

Help me help the children, life Sarah, that are in need of hope.
Thank you
