It has been an emotional summer. I don’t really need to get into that here – but one of the happiest events occurred yesterday: Olivia is starting her new chapter and we are so very proud of her.

Even though we are in the middle of a pandemic, so many people reached out to help with their donations – I am truly grateful for all of you (and those of you who have also given me your encouragement).
