I shared my heart and you are making a difference

pride-at-camp-no-limitsIt takes $500 to send one child to Camp No Limits. It's one of the most supportive and special camps I know that supports the full family in the world of limb differences. It's become the focus of our love and fundraising for many years. It's a place where Jordan feels loved, trusted and she's learning to mentor other kids. She's at peace there.A week and a half ago, I wrote from the heart about how I feel about staring and it's opened an incredible number of conversations with people I know and don't know. The input has been stunningly supportive. So many of us understand the struggle that comes from being different or having a loved one with a difference. So many of us understand that we all need to open up conversations to talk about staring, talk about how we are all different, and talk about how we can all be more caring.It's a bit overwhelming to me.While I was out of town on work travel for the last eight days, my post on staring was republished in my town's news website. I don't even know if it was printed in the paper version. But I know I've had another round of kindness come my way. In the last 12 hours, that kindness has gone beyond words and it's made a difference for Camp No Limits. In the last 12 hours, THREE kids will now be able to attend camp thanks to two very large donations. THREE KIDS. I'm so honored. And of course, this is just the beginning of our fundraising efforts for 2015. It's very exciting.I shared my heart and I feel like I can also say it's helping make a difference. And that's because of you. You are sharing these posts. You are donating to camp. You are talking to your kids and telling them that we can all change for the better.Thank you.
