    Words cannot express how much the LAF women's journey meant to me. I am still processing it. I cannot thank you enough for all of the hard work, dedication and love that you put into creating a trip of a lifetime. I so appreciate it. You changed my way of thinking forever. The gift you gave me was priceless. As a small token of gratitude to you and in your honor I have scheduled a $10,000 donation to the LemonAid Fund so you can continue this wonderful work.
