Rebekah's (Angela's) Breakfast

A very big special thank you to Angela Kohama and all of her crew for organizing Rebekah’s pancake breakfast this weekend.  Until yesterday morning, Angela had never even met Rebekah and yet this high school senior poured her heart and soul into this event and achieved a success that any project manager in any business would be proud of.

We had people from all over the area including at least one family from Washington.  Friends, family, co-workers, rallyists, the fire department, and strangers alike all turned out thanks to Angela’s advertising.  Home Town Buffet and Pepper’s Mexican Grill provided nearly everything free of charge.  The few remaining little (and I mean very little) needs where met by the volunteers that were there.  

Rebekah, Sarah, mommy and daddy were even able to make it for much of the morning and Rebekah was in good enough spirits to walk around and “talk” with people, hand out her own business cards and even say “thank you” in a way that only she could.  We don’t know if she had any clue that she was the reason they were there.  Whether she knew why or not didn’t matter, she was just very happy that they were there and she was some place other than the hospital or her bed at home.

The people that came had HUGE hearts and poured out their emotions as well as their dollars to support Rebekah.  Throughout the day there were quite a few tears in the eyes of people but most of all delight in helping out this little girl.  At the end of the day there was $3013.00 in the cash box for Rebekah’s trust.  Thank you Angela and thank you everyone who helped!!!
