I'm moved to tears...

I just wanted to share with you how blown away I am at the power of social media and the unbelievable love of human kind.

So... to fill you in... I'm in need of some immediate abdominal surgery. Rather than wait a couple of months until I would have the funds needed (& postpone the agony and compromise my quality of life any longer), I decided to put it out to my community and ask for help.

This, by the way, took a lot on my part... I had to completely shed my ego... asking for help is NOT something that I'm good at (I'm perfectly capable of doing it all on my own, thanks!).

In any case, I posted on Twitter & Facebook (after taking lots of deep breaths) and the donations started rolling in. I've gotten lots of donations from my friends and people I know.... but even more touching is the generosity of the people whom I've never even met. It's been moving me to tears...

We were hoping to find 6000 people who would be willing to donate $2 each to raise the needed $12,000. What's actually been happening is that some folks are donating $10, $20, $50, and $100 (so unbelievably generous!), which will end up getting us there much more quickly.

There are no words to express my awe and gratitude at this time. I'm sincerely touched by the power of community.

If you're interested in helping, you can FIND OUT MORE HERE.

And, regardless of whether you're in a position to help this cause, I just want to remind you that I am honored (more than ever right now) to be in your space and to have you in mine.

Thanks for being a valuable part of this community.

With Great Love,

Amy
