My sister Wendy is vacationing in Costa Rica for her 50th birthday, and a day into the vacation she experienced uncontrolled blood pressure and seizures, requiring emergency hospitalization. The hospital is very nice but it is pay-as-you-go, and my sister does not have the $2700+/day to stay admitted.
I run the Santa Barbara Pool League, and last night was our weekly league night. I started a gofundme.com page to raise money to help my sister, and then I texted everyone in the league to see if they could help, either by credit card on GoFundMe or by cash.
I was BLOWN AWAY when I opened all the match envelopes. Over $1100 was donated!! In one night!! My faith in humanity is restored. :smile:
BTW my sister is STILL in the hospital, and the bills continue to pile up. If any of you would like to contribute, please click on the gofundme.com link. If you would rather use PayPal or other means please PM me and I can give you those instructions. THANK YOU!!!
