Hi!  My name is Feather. 

I was rushed to the hospital today and I'm really scared.  Something horrible has happened to my eye.  I can't see out of it right now and it hurts so bad that I want to cry.  I'm trying to be brave.  I learned that from the children at Tomorrow's Rainbow.  It's not easy being brave.

They tell me that I need eye surgery to fix the hole that's in my eye.  Right now, the eye guts are squeezing out through that hole and I can't see.  It's really painful and really scary!

Being a grief counselor is not as easy as it looks.  I need to be able to make a special connection with each and every child that comes to the farm.  How will I be able to gaze into their eyes and show them that I understand and that I care if I can't see? 

I'm at Palm Beach Equine Hospital under the care of Dr. Cutler.  He says that he is a super fantastic eye surgeon and he can help me.  I believe in him, but I'm still worried.  The surgery will cost $3,000.  I'm REALLY, REALLY worried.  Tomorrow's Rainbow helps a whole lot of children with very little money.  How are they going to be able to help me?

Tomorrow's Rainbow is a special place where children can safely take their grief journey after the death of a loved one.  Our all volunteer staff offers, free of charge, peer support groups, miniature horse interactions and therapeutic play in an emotionally safe environment.  It is a place where grieving children feel, often for the first time, understood.

I know that this is a lot to ask, but my body tried to fix my eye on its own and it just couldn't.  I give you my promise.  If you will contribute to my operation, I will work for years and years and years...Guiding Children Back to Joy!

Can you please help me?

From the bottom of my heart,

Feather
