                                                      I can only say that I was incredibly overwhelmed by the turnout and the generosity of those who came (and also those who could not). There is so, so much need in this world. I thank God every day for sending the most generous, loving, faithful people to support our work. There are 2 billion people struggling to eat every day, and it will take another 2 billion to believe they need to contribute to this problem. It's supporters like you who "get it."

                                                      I would like to give very special thanks to Gloria Buganski, "Dan and Don", the Pinnacle, Dave Mallory, Christine McMahon, Robert Robinson, and of course my wonderful husband Randy for all their work in putting this event together and raising funds to support the poorest of the poor.  And I especailly thank all of you who contributed with your attendance and financial contributions that truly came from your heart. Most of you have never visited Guatemala or met the people we work with which only demonstrates that your support is truly selfless.  None of SewHope's work would be possible without you.  Thank you!!
