I was working ('cause I'm well enough to go back to work!!) and my mom walked in with one of her coworkers. They were having their holiday lunch for work two doors down. She said, "Come say hi to everyone!" So, reluctantly I went, donning a fashionable mask to protect myself. I'm a little germaphobic still and saying hi to a group of people feels stressful...all those germs.

Anywho, I get to the lunch, expecting a quick hi and a sweet lady stands up and explains to me that every year, their department gives to a charity and this year and because of all that we've been through...stem cell transplant, 22 days in the hospital, still unknown hospital bills looming...they wanted to give to us! It's a good thing I had the mask on, because I was ugly crying like you wouldn't believe!!
As I type this, I am still sort of in shock that this happened. We are blown away to say the least. We have some crazy expenses, but I don't really think about them because they seem super important for my health. My mom's super sweet and crazy generous coworkers covered my naturopathic treatments for a month. The out of pocket, crazy expensive IV's that I get every week are covered. I'm pretty sure that these nutrients and anti-oxidants have helped me to bounce back as quickly as I have and I am so thankful that we don't have to worry about the cost over the holidays!
Ambushed. Ugly crying. Blown away. Crazy generosity. Thank you SPU's Financial Aid Department, you're amazing, lovely people.
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 4:19

I'm so happy to hear how well you're doing nothing and of course you deserve (as so many do) a wonderful blessing like this. Stay strong my friend. Sending lots of prayers of strength and healing.
Merry Christmas.
