The word above is the best word I could find to describe the Rio Linda community & the Rio High alumni that showed up yesterday to show your support at the car wash! I was literally AMAZED at the support and generosity that so many have shown.
Not only was the car wash itself a huge success, but I came home to find a VERY generous donation on my on-line fundraising account. It officially pushed me over the 1/2 way mark to my goal. I am overwhelmed with your generosity. Thank you so much!!!
A huge group of students were out in the heat, working their butts off and washing cars. This event was their community service project! I keep saying, "I'M their community service project!" And I'm so thankful that I am. These kids (I call them kids because, to me, anyone under 30 are kids! :) literally worked from the moment they got there until the moment they left. And they did it all for someone that they had never met. I not only walk away from this with a HUGE amount of donations, but also with a renewed hope in people in general. They didn't HAVE to do this, but they selflessly gave of themselves and I will always be grateful to each and every one of them! Sincerely, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
And to my friends and family who came out for the moral support, that I seem to SO badly need these days (since I have officially become a cry baby), how do I say thank you to you all when you have all given so much of yourselves and your hearts? I can only do so by saying that you fill my life with a love and joy so powerful that I feel more blessed than any person has a right to be! Thank you! You are ALL amazing!
With lots of love,
Kristi
