One of our<br \/>\nfriends in the neighborhood brought over the manila envelope that had<br \/>\nall the donations in it.  I was so overcome as I opened it and saw what<br \/>\nit was.  As I went through the donations there were many checks and one<br \/>\nthat really struck me was for $1.00.  It wasn&#8217;t the amount that mattered<br \/>\nto me it was just that there were so many people thinking about us.
