This little lottery win has come at a very timely point for me. This year has been hard, and encouragement is deeply needed. For the past 16 years, I’ve been on a long journey toward healing and restored health. Without going into every detail, a combination of harmful dental work, severe mold exposure, and decades of marital abuse led to trauma, C-PTSD, and a constant state of fight/flight/freeze/fawn weakened my immune system, allowing harmful toxins to run the show. Today I live with daily nerve pain, and significant weakness and balance issues that make a wheelchair necessary most of the time (among many other symptoms). I’m a Christian, and I’ve tried to remain faithful in prayer and in God’s Word, but over the last few months I’ve felt weary—likely from trying to carry too much in my own strength. And yet, after so much suffering and many tears, the Lord gave me a truly good few days. Yesterday, my 92-year-old father's heart was softened and his soul was saved. This morning, the perpetual swelling in my neck glands were gone. I received an encouraging message from a friend. The sermon at church felt personally directed and uplifting. And then—this little lottery win. 😊 I know there aren’t many Group 7 participants anymore, so the amount won won’t be large, but the encouragement itself feels like a huge gift right now, and I’m deeply thankful. Whatever I receive will go toward insulating our tiny/small home for the winter. Due to mold exposure, my (new) husband and I (not the former jerk lol) had to move into an unfinished barn on our property in September, as both our house and camper are no longer livable for me because of severe autoimmune mold reactions. Thank you so much to all of you. This has meant more than I can say. Wishing you all a very happy Christmas. ⛪🕯️🤍❄️⛄ ⸻ From the EchoFam: ⸻ You can donate to me here: Venmo – @PattieCole Cash App – $plaidoak PayPal – [email protected] ⸻ ⚠️ Please Note ⚠️ 1.

I can't tell you how much I need this y'all! Not even a year moving to SE Asia I had my card details copied at an atm and my entire savings taken, not even a few months later my 22 yro sister passed. I've been so buried in grief and loss that it's been difficult to do much. I finally had a breakthrough last full moon! I can't tell you how much I need and appreciate this win and you all!

And This weeks Echo Lottery Winner is……….

Nothing special about this scenery. Just thought it was worthy of being captured.

I am a creative, actor, author, sign language facilitator (working to get Certified to become an interpreter), producing my own TV show pilot that I am the lead actor in based off a novel I have published on Amazon — this means so much to me. I will probably use the money to pay my bills and help me live off of depending on how much comes in. Thank you to everyone!! 💜💜💜 ⸻ You can donate to me here: Venmo – @Hillary-Van-Ness Cash App – $HillaryVanNess PayPal – @HillaryVanNess ⸻ ⚠️ Please Note ⚠️ 1.
