When I posted the journal with a plea for help last week we were answered with just enough to pay rent, our bills, and a few desperately needed household supplies (dog food and cat litter specifically). I needed to show that we deeply appreciate it but I couldn't think of anything more than how we felt.

I cannot express just how grateful we are for the donations. We were in a serious crisis and the stress even had us bickering at each other until we realized that we couldn't make it without help. Asking for assistance is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. I'm believe very strongly in personal responsibility and self reliance but sometimes the universe can overwhelm even the most prepared of us.

I really hope this image can convey the depth of our relief. Thank you to everyone who donated and even to everyone who supported us through well wishes or by simply reading. All of our love to you guys!
