Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted July 4, 2016 I have spent the last week taking donations and loading an 18 wheeler for flood victims in WVa. We've worked from 9a-8p each day in 90+ degree heat. I NEVER would have been able to pull even one day before WLS. I have been interviewed with two news stations (ABC and CBS) and I have been in an assload of media pictures. In an attempt to garner more attention, I have live streamed throughout each day encouraging people to come out and help. Before WLS, I hated being in front of a camera and would have NEVER done even a moment of that. Over the week, I happily visited various businesses and asked for donations, even while sweaty and sort of a wreck. Before WLS, I didn't go anywhere with a hair out of place. I was always a fit, confident person, but I was also always very self aware and self conscious of my appearance. Losing this weight has given me the freedom to just DO without thinking about how I look doing it. Freedom. It's a beautiful thing. One truck filled to the brim, two more weeks of hard work ahead! Love, love, love. I was in WV last weekend and was only able to donate some bottled Water when I stopped for gas. My mom was heading there this past weekend so I sent some cleaning supplies. She was able to drop them off for me and came home in tears from seeing the devastation. The need is so great that it is hard not to feel completely defeated by not being able to do more. I have been feeling bad because I am still not physically able to help. I am so glad you to hear about your efforts and hard work. Bless you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
