Went swimming at Meadowbrook Pool for the first time since I was in 6th grade. This was where all the Summit K-12 kids swam once a week. It just so happened we had to wait out a thunderstorm first since apparently even indoor pools are magnets to get struck by lightening! Who knew...
Update #6 from @beloved206 aka @earringsbybe :
“I’ve been so grateful for your ongoing support sharing my page and for your donations.
I have recently had a couple setbacks, but am on the mend, and will be moving in with my mom next month, who has been caring for me.
@joulesea is helping me pull together a “Beloved Care Circle” email and contact list for updates and non-financial ways to support my healing, and I was wondering if you’d be willing to be on the list? We created a short form here [in bio]
This form just collects email and number, and there is space for a note, so if you may be able to help with:
■ meal prep
■ keeping me company at times
■ helping coordinate support
■ helping me pack
■ helping me move (do you have a truck?)
■ helping me clean
- please drop a note on availability- or even if just want to stay connected to my healing process- I’m super grateful for it all, however you’re able to show up.
/forms/u/0/d/1E585rNG7c6aKCtV8AxYEChN-V-4vSgkZmBdmtoCcZac/viewform?usp=drivesdk&edit_requested=true
Thanks so much,
The fundraising goal is for my last month of rent and health insurance!

Update #4: This smile is well-earned. I've avoided posting current pics of myself since I got sick simply because I don't feel like myself. My plan was to go back to work a couple days this month, but I had a set-back and alas was not able. Once again, my amazing mother, Angela Marie Fava is taking care of me. She is a God-send and my biggest blessing on this journey. Another big blessing is my sister-cousin Catrina White Elder for encouraging me and supporting me each day. I shared in my last post that were 10, 000 short of our goal. After a donation from St. Vincent de Paul, and additional Venmo donations, we are $9,200 short. We appreciate so much those who have donated so far and given other forms of support on the journey, like prayers and positive vibes. Until next time, Amanda/BeLoved
Update 3: Just wanted to stop by and send a huge thank you to all those who have taken the time to share my story, and some of you to share their own story in return. It turns out that however uncomfortable it is to share, I am far from alone. I continue to be surprised by the amount of kindness, grace, and generosity I've received. As for my health, it is continuing to improve, by the grace of God, but I am still a ways from being able to work. Due to this fact, i continue to pay insurance put of pocket, and rent out out of savings. I am actively seeking rental assistance, but so far I haven't qualified. If you know of any rental assistance opportunities, please send them my way! I will continue to update, and please feel free to keep in touch. Like, share, and comment, it all matters!
