Always Amazed!

Wow has it been a busy summer.  So much to catch you up on. 

We have always grown and learned with FFOH.  Our steady growth has made it so we can continue to keep up with the work load as it grows and changes.  Having no paid employees means that we have to work pretty hard to keep up with the demands of it.   There are lots of phone calls from social workers and applicants.  As we get better known, we get more calls from the people on the front lines of cancer.  As the people on the front lines learn about us then I know they will be able to pass more applicants on to us.  I am so impressed with all that is going on. 

We got our first donation on the Paypal account.  That was exciting.  Then we figured out how to get the money from the paypal account to the bank account.  So that was great.  Then with the help of a friend of mine from GeeBee Construction (Silver Sponsor for the Saskatchewan's Got Talent Night at Casino Regina) (Shameless Plug) We made sure it wasn't offensive to anyone and got good advice on making it better.  So we are coming ahead in leaps and bounds.  Things like that help us appear more professional.  As we are growing we want to make sure that everyone we deal with knows that we take it very seriously.

We have had 52 applicants so far.  Four in the last month alone.  We have been able to help these women.  That makes me feel good.  We have been getting better at helping people as well.  We are getting more streamlined and can respond even better to peoples needs.  Speed is often of the essence so it is more important than ever to help quickly and efficiently. 

Our announcement this time is the Paypal account.  If you would like tickets to the event in the fall, go to our site and donate $75 and we will send you a ticket to the event.  For a $35 donation we will send you a ticket for the show portion of the evening.  The tickets are first come first serve basis so we will send you the best ones we have available.  Here is our website again.

Now that fall has arrived, I promise to be attentive to the blog.  We have had almost three thousand readers.  Keep sharing and passing on the message of Forever Friends.  Our applicants thank you for the information.  Thanks for the reads!
