Testimonials

I realize I haven’t talked much about my journey…I mean, main facts for sure…but I haven’t spent a lot of time looking back and reflecting on the experience. I guess a part of my never wants to, but part of me can’t help it and still cant comprehend it all. I actually had a bit of a breakdown writing this….just remembering some of the crazy and scary parts…..I cried. Quite a bit. At the same time, remembering how hard this has been, it also allowed me to appreciate that I’m here, in this place at this time…..because I got through all that I have, and not everyone is that fortunate. No matter what the future holds…..Ive got this opportunity, and I am so lucky and appreciative for that.

I do not know where I would be, nor what state I would be in, without your help. I was down and out, deciding between buying groceries, and paying rent and or bills. This is no exaggeration. The Ruby Slipper & Black Boot Fund helped guide me through my financial crisis, so that I could focus on my physical health. They contributed in areas that really mattered, the life necessities.
