YOU.GUYS.

We have been so humbled by you guys.  Wow.  We received a total of $4600 in contributions for the Jackson Center in Elena's name!  This is more than double what we raised last year.  What a huge blessing you all have given us and this very special place that gives us hope.

Knowing what an amazing support system our family has is everything to us.  It's moments like these where we are reminded how many of you out there are behind us, praying for us, loving us and encouraging us.  Let me tell you, this world of ours can be an awfully isolating place.  You can feel alone and like no one understands what you're dealing with.  But having your support and seeing your love for Elena, reminds us otherwise.

So thank you, thank you, thank you!

**This is Elena and her best buddy from the Jackson Center, Ben.  They've been in class together for almost two years, always talking to each other, giggling and have even been known to reach out to each other and "hold hands".  He's the sweetest little guy!  We're thankful for Elena to have little friends who are like her and make us smile!
