I want to thank the Mom in Need Fund for giving me the opportunity to be there to watch my son graduate from Boot Camp. When Cody left nine weeks ago to start his journey at Cape May, I kept telling him I will see you at Graduation. I knew in my heart I was making a promise to my son that I couldn’t keep and I felt like the worse mom on earth! My husband and I both work full time jobs but we both have Oilfield related jobs and the oilfield has been so slow and has affected my husbands income tremendously. His income has been reduced by well over 60%, so it’s been a challenge just paying our monthly bills. We don’t do anything extra like we used to, no more going out to dinner, no more shopping for things we don’t absolutely need and no more vacations...just the absolute necessities. So I knew there was no possible way we could afford for all of us to attend graduation, we couldn’t afford for even one of us to be able to go, and I was beyond heartbroken. They always say their is a light at the end of the tunnel, the Mom in Need Fund was my light!! I filled out an application and submitted it, I really didn’t think I would get approved because things like this just never happen for us but thought it won’t hurt to try. A few days later I received an email saying I was going to my son’s graduation-I was approved!!!! Omg!!! I can’t even find the words the describe the emotions I felt, I cried tears of happiness and was just overwhelmingly grateful.
KILO 195 graduated yesterday and because of the hard work and generosity of each and every one who works tirelessly to raise money for the Mom in Need Fund I was able to attend!!! One of the best days ever!!!!! I am so thankful that I was able to be there and hear when they called my son’s name and watch him walk up there to receive his certificate and shake his commanding officers hands!!! The pride I felt and still feel is indescribable!!!! Cody told me several times I’m so glad you got to come mom...best words ever!!!!
You have giving me an experience I will never forget!!!!! From the bottom of my heart I think you!!!
