Thank you for your generosity. Keep faith and joy close-” Karen

I am grateful for absolutely every moment.

One thing this journey has taught me is to constantly count my blessings, realizing all the time how very blessed I am.

Thank you for taking a moment out of your day to read about my campaign…

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to go to the San Diego Clinic for treatment- It was an amazing experience! However, I did not have enough money for their treatments. Did they turn me away? Refuse to treat me? Did the good doctors give me less, because I could not afford it?? No!

The amazing doctors, nurses and staff treated me- with dignity, with compassion, with love. All the while, they knew I could not pay them. Yet I never for a moment felt anything but empathy and respect.

If I am able to pay them a little at a time, I will feel better knowing that the amazing people at SDC got at least a portion of what is due them.

I am grateful. For the medical people, friends, family, and all the incredible blessings in my life. I am grateful for every breath I take. And I am grateful for you.

Keep Faith and Joy Close-
Karen
