This is crazy! What you offered was not only an act of kindness, but it was a gift of life for a deserving person. I was one of those persons who submitted my essay, and I want to thank you for even taking the time to even read about my life. I am a substitute teacher and the job comes with no benefits. I hope that I will be able to get on full time just for the insurance to have the lap band surgery done. I'm not sure what negative comments you have had, but I think you and your husband are wonderful people to have even offered to do this for someone. I am glad that the recipient has had the procedure and she is doing so well. Please reconsider staying because until I am able to have mine, reading some of the post here is how I get through the day. Shelia

I would like to congratulate the essay winner also. Has she/he even acknowledged that they have won the essay contest. I was one of those who spilled my guts also in hopes of being the lucky winner, but thats ok, it was worth it just knowing that someone will benefit. And now we are all curious as to who this lucky person is and maybe alittle about them. Also curious as to how many essays were turned in. Good Luck to that lucky person and I wish them the best. I am hoping to be banded this year and looking forward to it. Shelia0505
