i'm finally getting braces tomorrow after about six years of bullying and tormenting from other people... my mom has been saving every penny she has earned in the past nine months to make sure we would be able to get them on (we dont have much money). all of her siblings are back in our town for a week and tonight, they gave me $145 to add towards my braces...
then afterwards, my grandma, the cutest little woman in the whole wide world, proudly gave me another $100 and i just broke down crying in front of her.
it may not appear to be that big of a deal to some people but this is such a huge deal for me and i've just been sitting here sobbing because i'm so blessed and grateful to have such an amazing, giving family and i honestly couldn't be happier right now lol. wish me luck tomorrow, i'm so nervous but so happy to finally break down a wall and get closer to confidence. ♥
EDIT: thank you to the people who are being so kind and wonderful!! it's really appreciated, you're outshining the rude ones on this site! x
