Wether it's a care package, an email or even a silent prayer, thank you for thinking about us. Kindness and generosity can run thin over here, so a reminder of what we left behind and what we are fighting to bring to others is a blessing.

To show my appreciation, I am posting pictures below of myself and/or my team with our personal favorite care package item, each time we receive one.

Special shout out to those who are personally helping boost my morale:
