A huge thanks to my sponsors--we did it!!

I am agape. Thanks to everyone who commissioned me, and especially to everyone who donated to me, I raised over four times what i was hoping to get. With the help of my family on top of this, I'm actually going to be able to walk in and walk out with my hearing aids this coming Monday.

Eleven years ago I was devastated by the sudden total loss of hearing in my left ear (along with the avalanche of other symptoms). And then in November last year I suddenly experienced more permanent hearing loss in my right ear (on top of the slow decline this condition gave). It's really hard to describe the hopelessness I was feeling.

Of course, I'll never hear from my left ear perfectly, but at least it will be something (and i won't have to keep turning my head back and forth like some weird bird during conversations trying to hear everyone ^_^ ). And my right ear will again get the fuller range of sounds I've been missing.

So, thanks again to those who have helped make this happen. It's meant the world to me <3
