We are so excited with the response to help this little girl!  So far (including direct donations) we have raised $13,635 leaving us just under $5,000 to go to reach our goal of $18,500 to send Natasha to Moscow to have a brain tumour removed.  We are very anxious to get this money sent off to the family so if you are thinking of making a donation, please don’t wait.
