Seris Wheelchair

HALFWAY THERE!!!

We are so nearly halfway there. This is great! Seri is still in hospital since her last surgery, as far as I know, and she is having a really really rough time. She's used to it, poor little mite, but it's really tough. I don't have details, because her parents are too busy being there for her to update imaginary internet friends, but the phrase "femoral line" is never a good sign.

The money is mostly coming in in fivers and it's almost magical how it adds up. I've begun the process to get the money out of Paypal so I can send a cheque to Seri's family.
