My sister inquires, ‘how much have we received from the crowdfunding campaign?’ I confirm only 20% of the amount pledged.

She continues ‘we will make one more push and then we need to regroup. As I told you before don’t count on the money until it is in the bank’. I realized that we made this massive push with only a small amount of the funds collected.

I think to myself how acquainted I have come with things not working out. My heart wants to sink in disappointment, but I don’t let it and I remind myself that it is in our resilience and quest for another solution that will lead to success.
