"Please extend my thanks to ALL the Beyond Pink TEAM for the extraordinary way you each contributed to relieving stress in my life right now, and reminding me of the presence of outstanding individuals who go out of their way to help others. 
The walls were surely beginning to close in, and bills were becoming a big concern. Thanks to you, I can see a light at the end of this tunnel. I am truly grateful."
