Karen, Your daughter is in the most awesome hands I have ever met.....yours. Your love stands out from each and every email that you write. What's more...each and every one of us on this list feel your love as well. God has truly blessed us when he brought you to our midst. That you would consider starting this fund is incredible and I just want to let you know that the good Lord will bless you one hundred times fold for your graciousness.
