When one wheel turns, the rest will follow

It seems as though at least one wheel has begun to spin :) We found a charming little house for rent in Corona over the weekend and the rent is a dream! We automatically save $350 a month with just the rent! I hae also spoken with our credit card companies about our situation and our financial ability and fortunately they are willing to help work with us as well on dropping our monthly bill by over 50%! That is a savings of another $300 a month! All the money that is being saved will help pay for Bella's medical necessities and what is left over will be put in savings for a home. The only small down side is that the home has no appliances but with the help of craigslist and asking around, finding reliable and cheap $appliances shouldnt be a problem.

It was a necessity that we get our own home because Bella needs air conditioning and a clean environment to live in. My dad was gracious enough to offer me everything he had but I knew Bella needed more. Now with our own place, her own room, and my cleaning standards Bellas needs will be met and finally I will be able to get the in-home nursing assistance that I so desperately have needed since Bella has come home.

Yesterday afternoon my bestfriend Tiana stopped by to pay us a little visit on her way back home to the East Bay. She held a garage sale for Bella just a week ago and raised $180! She brought us these funds and today I hoping to make it to the bank and deposit the money into Bellas savings account. I have great friends who go to great lengths to help us when they see we are in need. Even friends that I haven't spoken with since high school. They surprise me with their generosity and I dont know how to say "thank you" without saying "thank you." My friends on the other hand do know how to say "your welcome" without actually saying "your welcome." They keep in contact, they see the bigger picture, and they put the small and insignificant details aside because they understand that the fight my family is fighting is greater than the mistakes or misunderstandings made in the past.

Forunetly for me, those who dont understand that have already made it to the exit. I already asked for those who are negative and unwilling to see the big picture to take their anger and resentment elsewhere. Bella is THRIVING and growing and happy and im glad that those who really want to be a part of her cure and her life are still here. They deserve to be. They have proven to care. And it is these people who will be there to celebrate with Bella when the cure saves her life.

Its only 3 1/2 weeks until my life will gain a small sence of normalcy. I can't wait for they day that I blog about that :)
