I GOT IT

A few hours ago, I wrote a post about struggling. I was dragging through the day.

And then I got THE CALL.

I got the grant. The proposal that I wrote in between staff training sessions, while sick, at the last minute... I got it.

$31,400.

The largest grant the organization has given of this kind. They chose to award the entire sum of the fund (the original range had been listed as $10,000-$30,000).

I ran into the camp store (where A&M were working) and said, "congratulate me!" they paused and then 'A' said, "you got the grant?!" and we all jumped up and down.

We currently have 45 kids registered for the week, so it is slightly anti-climatic- at this point, I NEED the grant. I have spent the money already. But that's not the point.

Up until this point, the largest grant that I've written a proposal for and received has been $5000. So, um, yeah, this is a lot more than that.

I got it. I got it. I got it. I am SO excited.
