The entire family went to the post office, almost as if it were a Griswold Family Vacation. The kids knew right where the box is, and I couldn't unlock it quickly enough. We were getting lots of stares for taking pictures in the post office, but we didn't care. We were all surprised to find 3 envelopes in the box! One was sent to both Nathanael and Savannah, one to just Nathanael, and one to just Savannah. I knew who one of the envelopes was from, and R., I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You know what this is like, and the fact that you thought of my family has touched my heart. Sender of the other two envelopes, you chose to stay anonymous, you sneaky devil, but you made the kids' day including a note to each of them. They were so excited to receive your dollars, and *I* appreciate it with my whole heart.
In the end, on our first day of checking the box, a total of $14 was received as part of the challenge.
So the challenge has been officially accepted. I think we're all looking forward to next Saturday!
For those of you who haven't read the challenge yet, take a look at Nathanael's Knock Out Cancer Challenge. He's challenging all of our readers to send just $1 to the post office box listed below because, in his words, "One dollar is a small amount of money...but imagine how much it could help in our fight against cancer." Are *you* up for a challenge?
Thank you again to those of you who have sent donations so far. You have a special place in my heart.
If you'd like to accept Nathanael's challenge, please send your donation to:
Nathanael and Savannah Haskell
P.O. Box 506
Buffalo, NY 14226
We will be logging all donations onto the team website once a week.
