L'chaim

Dear Readers, 

Happy Thanksgivinukka! 

Today is a day of being thankful, spending time with family and friends, and bringing light into the world. I'd like to thank all of you who have contributed to my Chai Raiser. I can't believe how quickly the fundraiser has grown. We've received donations from friends, family, and even strangers. I'm happy to announce that the next part of my fundraiser is going to be at the Blackstone Valley Ice Arena in Hopedale at an event called Chanukkah on Ice on Sunday December 1st.

I also received an email last week with pictures of Shira after the bus bombing and what she looks like today. When I saw the picture of her today, I would not have known she was so badly injured. Shira  has scars and wears glasses. It was heartbreaking to see her as a baby because she looked so sad and injured. Now that I see what Shira lookes like, I feel even more excited to help her. 

Have a great Chanukkah,
Samantha
