Lungs for Josie!

Hello all! As some of you may know, one of my very close friends has Cystic Fibrosis and found herself in desperate need of a double lung transplant.  I am pleased to report that Josie received new lungs on July 28th! Her recovery is going smoothly so far, and though she has a long journey ahead of her, the change this has made in her life is awe-inspiring.

As you can imagine, a procedure of that magnitude incurs an unbelievable cost. While her family is fortunate enough to have health insurance, they are still personally responsible for many thousands of dollars related to the wonderful, life-saving care she has received. Many have already demonstrated their generosity and donated toward her cause, but there's still a ways to go.

You can find Josie's fundraising page here:

Every little bit helps, so even if you can only give a dollar, or even just a shout out for her page, it would be deeply appreciated by Josie, her family, and everyone else who cared about her, myself included!

I hope you all are having a terrific Friday and have a wonderful weekend ahead!
