We should win and I am talking about my family and I because this will be a great way for my children to have some fun. Our resources have been very tight lately since I am unable to work due to me going through treatments that cause me not to have as much energy as I once had and because I need to keep my health up. My children have been great and very supportive while I have been dealing with my health and I think this would be a wonderful treat for them. They will be very excited about this and being able to get out of the house and do something fun that they all can enjoy.
Zakiyyah, I’m so sorry to hear about your health but l know God is a healer. You will be back to yourself in no time! Good luck winner will be announced on Friday evening.
