OMG YOU PEEPLES!!!

There seems to be no way for me to appropriately say "Thank you God bless you" 
to each of you who have been in touch with Holly, aka skyearthandsea
I am so very overwhelmed with gratitude that I'm slightly numb. 
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!  

I don't know if she told you, but the total she handed me today was $500.  
I'm going to put it in my savings account and relax.  Relax more than I've been able in years.  
This will allow me to adjust my rent payments to make better use of my paydays; 
allow me to pay some bills in collection and possibly improve my credit score.  

This is a load off my mind the likes of which you can only imagine. 

I am OVERWHELMED.  
I actually MADE Holly let me hug her, despite her protestations.  
Words simply aren't sufficient.  

Leigh, you and Holly are the best secret keepers I've ever known. LoL

Ah, but I can, having been down that road myself...

I hadn't heard the total, only a subtotal last week.

Sit back and put up your feet, dear.

(And yes, Leigh and Holly are awesome. I'm glad I got a chance to know one of them for the first tie via sekret emails, and the other, already a LJ friend thanks to you, a bit better too.)

*hugs*

I guess I can't believe they've both talked to me all this time and never let a word slip!

Thanks so much. Thank you.

You have some very wonderful and caring friends.

Yes I do. I'm constantly amazed at everyone's generosity.

Everybody needs a little boost now and then - it was just your turn. :)

I remember what my life was like before I had this journal and my friends here. I think that memory makes me doubly grateful.

I'm glad someone was able to come through for you, dear, as so many have for me these past two years: it's about time that your fortune turned around somewhat. And I wish I'd been in a better position to help you, myself.

Cool! I'm glad Holly managed to raise that much!

Bwaaahahaha!!! I wondered about that, how hard it was for you not to say anything when I've been whining about money for so long.

I think I missed something.

Hurrah for great friends ^-^

There were a few on my friends list who were contacted personally and asked to contribute to a "donation" on my part. They all pitched in and put together quite a large sum of money.
