You've read my words so openly this week, so generously, and I can't tell you how much your thoughts, your insights, and your donations have meant to me as I've been processing my experiences in Southeast Asia. It's a testament to you, and to the kindness of the human spirit, that during a time of so much economic hardship you read a stranger's story about a still-more-distant stranger's sorrows and felt called to action. Thank you so much for reading, for listening, and for allowing me to be part of this amazing community. You inspire me.
Thank you.
Now, onto the drawing! I know many of you said you wanted to make donations without taking the little girl's bracelet, but I really would love for you to have it, so let's draw a winner, shall we?
And The Winner Is...
...Alita Jewel!
Congratulations, Alita!
Send an email with your contact information to thekeepingtime@gmail.com and I'll send you the bracelet!
And thank you all again, so much, for your donations!
