Happy 21st Birthday Jess!! Thanks to everyone who wished her a Happy Birthday!
We went to Shane's game last night and they won!! We told the boys that Jess was their good luck charm ;) It was a long trip for her and she really ended up not feeling very well, but she was determined to see her little brother play football! Especially since it is nearing the end of the season (could have been the last game). She took a few naps so I felt better about her having such a long day. When we got there Bonanza School had arranged, with North Douglas, for us to be able to park Jessi's pickup on the track. Thanks so much to both schools! It was damp and cold and there isn't anyway she would have been able to handle sitting out in the cold. The Drain School announcer talked about Jess, he wrote an amazing piece about her, and said how she was at the game to surprise her little brother...which it was really hard to fib to Shane about!! I can't even tell you how and what he said, but it was really amazing, he made us all cry in the pickup. He even mentioned her after the game and said Happy Birthday again. Wow!!
The Bonanza fans all came by and either talked to her or me. She was able to wear her mask to help with spreading of germs. It was an incredible night. Shane was very excited to have her there, and it was nice to have so much support and for her to be able to watch him. Jon made the long drive back to Portland. Needless to say that when I left the apartment he and Jess were still sleeping, lol. We are planning a fun day for her birthday, but will be keeping a close eye on her, to make sure she doesn't get too tired. We have family coming up so that will help make it extra special!
Thanks everyone again, God bless!
Love,
Cindi
Wow! That is so awesome Jess could make the game and suprise Shane. I wish I had gone to see you guys. I'm glad Jess was able to do something special for her Birthday! That's soooo cool that school accomodated you guys so well. Jess is such a special person, this has really touched the community. A lot of people are praying for her. Can't wait to see you guys!

Now they have 3 stock trailers down at the store for cans...I bet they're doing awesome on the fundraiser. I hope it helps.

Wow! Really touching news! I'm glad she had a nice birthday and was able to see Shane play. Despite challenges and what not, life is good.

P. S. Still sending lots of hugs and prayers!
This is Jonathan's 'Aunt Lori' - We've been helping on this side of the hill with the can/bottle drive for Jessi. We've made 4 trips to the stock trailers taking the cans & bottles collected in Malin & at Lost River High School. And we've got another load to take over today as quite a bit was dropped off at the football game on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI don't know who all is helping with the sorting, but when we were there with our pickup & trailer load on Friday, Mr. Vieira came over with a group of kids, who quickly 'gloved' up and got to work. Also had a report from a gal getting her hair done at the beauty shop that she got to watch the kids one day, she said it looked like they were having a good time sorting all the cans & bottles and were very well behaved. So Thanks to everyone who has helped make this project soooooo successful. AL & UG
