Two things happened: people commented that there was actually a website for starting your own fund raisers; and I set one up! I've posted several updates and included photos of Egypt playing in her second season of basketball. She even has a nickname from the other parents: "The Intimidator". I love that she doesn't back down. Even when they've played all-boys teams. Her age group is currently set up for co-ed, but she's been playing soccer for several years with three other girls and we wanted them to continue to play together. Then Egypt subbed on another soccer team last fall and I got to know that coach as well. So we formed an all-girls team and we love it. Last year when she played with boys, they never passed the ball to her, but expected her to pass the ball to them. She's a very aggressive player and is the best defensive player on her team.
Last week a friend from Egypt's arthritis camp shared her goal to get to basketball camp on her own Facebook wall. And by morning we had two donations! It was so exciting to know that people wanted to help her get to camp. I've sent in a deposit to reserve her a spot - so I'm hoping that we can get all the money raised to send her to this two-week camp. I've set up the widget on the side of my blog. Check out the updates and even a couple bucks would help us get toward our goal!
Egypt - #6
