I’m very glad I participated in this challenge. It was nice to spend a few minutes each day thinking about how I could help someone else. It helped me to recognize just how blessed my life is and just how much I have to give.
Hi Frugal Girl!
My cousin’s wife was diagnosed with breat cancer, and is currently undergoing chemo before her surgery. I saw you bought your sister-in-law anti-nausea bracelets. Where did you find them, and can you recommend any other types of gifts or spirit-lifting things I can send to her? I’m at a loss.
Your challenge sounds amazing. Congratulations! You are definitely an inspiriation.
The bracelets are called PSI Bands and you can find them at Drugstore.com.
