THANK YOU!
I’ve been trying all weekend to come up with the right words to even begin to express what my heart feels for all of you. I’m afraid, I am falling way short in this effort. The fundraising efforts put on since my diagnosis on Sept. 1st, has truly left me speechless and almost paralyzed with emotions.
For 27 years it was always my heart’s mission to make a positive impact on the people I worked with at Canton-Galva. Sometimes that impact was not always received in the same manner it was intended, but it was my true intentions to help make things better. Through the years, my administrators, BOE, coworkers, (all staff), parents, students, and the community as a whole helped me give to so many people when I worked there. I can’t think of a time when I asked for help, that I was turned down. Someone always came through for me when times were tough for a community member or family. Whether it was through Scholarships, Secret Santa, Clothing drive, Free school supplies, Gas money, you name it, Canton-Galva was there to help. The generosity was boundless.
Never in a million years, did I think I would now be a recipient of such generosity and kindness. It’s so much easier to give than to receive. My family and I are awestruck by what has been happening. The T-shirt drive, the Chili and Cinnamon Roll Supper, the Round up and Donations by the Ark, have truly left us, especially me, in a puddle of emotions. We are eternally grateful for everything.
I don’t want to begin to single out people in fear of accidentally leaving someone out, but I want to Thank Mr. Struber and the Board of Education for allowing and supporting the fundraiser to take place at the school. I want to Thank my “Band of Angels”, you know who you are and how much I love you, for organizing and pulling off such amazing outstanding fundraisers, T-shirt and Chili supper. I want to Thank the Ark, Ben Coffey and his parents, for all their efforts at their store. However, my BIGGEST and DEEPEST gratitude goes out to all the community members, who came through for me in my time of need. Your support was overwhelmingly kind. Whether it was CG, Hesston, McPherson, Rural Vista, Hillsboro, etc. your support, kindness, and generosity will be with me for eternity. If love could cure cancer, then I would be a Walking Miracle. Your support encourages me every day to keep fighting.
Love to All,
Bonnie Holopirek
