From the days that we had tried to raise money for the fundraiser, we managed to make 50+ dollars. Even though I would have liked to make much more, I figured that in the time that we had it was a reasonable amount to make. It was also good because it was mostly loose change collected from students and staff members. Some of the money also came from a bakesale that Justine and I had planned out and had during break at school (it was a great outcome.)
When I gave Becky, Jade's mom, the money on Friday (the day before the actual benefit dinner) she was so happy that she was in tears. She really appreciated everything that everyone was doing and contributing. It felt good to be able to help someone even if it was in the simplest way.
