What a big day! Today we transferred nearly £32,000 to the Eifel Klinik in Germany and the surgery is going ahead. It was more money than we thought it would be but everyone's hard work and generosity we can just afford it.
For example, just today I received £235 from seven fantastic students who had a bake sale at their school. It was so lovely of them to think of me and I'm so grateful for their contributions. Also today, we received another £410 from the Brownies as a result of their three-park-challenge and there's more to come. Even the GoFundMe account is still active which is astonishing after all this time. All money which is donated even after paying for the surgery will help as my parents had to pay the remaining costs, putting them in debt. Any donations from now on will be helping us to meet the debt.
We also had a great day at Ware Carnival selling slime, squishies and sweet bags. We arrived early in the morning to set up. There were already a couple of stalls there but not many and so we had lots of time to get everything ready. My sister and I had to go to my theatre club beforehand so we were gone for most of the setting up but got back just in time to start selling. We made around £600; everyone wanted slime! It was on the day of the England quarter final too so Mum and Dad left us half way through to watch the game in the pub. It was very exciting trying to keep up with the scores and even more so when we won! We were there all day in the heat but it was so worth it; the people near us even had melon and iced coffee to help cool people down. Overall it was probably one of my favourite events that we've sold slime at. Maybe we'll go again next year!
I'd like to say a huge thank you to my sister's friend's mum, Rene, for getting us that pitch and generally supporting us all the way though my journey.
