So a couple hundred fliers, dollars, and worries later, my project is nearly complete. I have relied on my oversized neighborhood to help me in the process of collecting money for the Sacks of Hope foundation, but only had a few generous neighbors actually donate. However, the few that did were extremely gracious in their amounts.
Many people, even though they did not donate, were quite interested in my chosen topic and product. Out of all the different possiblities that I could have picked, I am proud to say that I know I made the right choice. It has been a more than difficult challenge, with too many unexpected problems along the way, but it is safe to say that I know I have made a difference.
Last week, I presented my project to the women in our neighborhood Bunco group and followed the presentation with dinner, snacks, and a miserable loss on my end. Needless to say, luck is not on my side. (At the end of the night, I was crowned the title of "Most Losses." What an accomplishment!)
All in all, I will admit that it is nice to have this project mostly complete. Now all I have to do is get the rest of those hours, and fast!
