Update

I wanted to let you all know that since this blog was posted by Violet at Reclusive Leftist on Tuesday, we've received $993.27 in donations.

I published this blog the first week of November, and I'm pretty sure nobody read it until I sent it over there.

I am absolutely stunned at the generosity of everyone who has donated, and everyone who has taken the time to shoot me an email to wish my mom well. I've discovered over the past week that it's pretty damn hard to articulate this kind of gratitude in words over the internet, but I just want to say, on behalf of my mom and myself: thank you. So, so much.

Much love,
Hilary
