Last year I had a real hard time getting donations for the polar plunge, I was really sad and depressed at the hotel a day before the plunge, finally an hour before I registered for the event the last few donations came with a whopping amount of money and I was able to reach the goal.
If you don't know what the polar plunge is, let me tell you what it is... every year I will go to the beach in February (the coldest month of the year) and I will jump to the ocean with 3000 more crazy people to support the special Olympics, its super cold and super fun at the same time.
Well this year I had to do something to get the money, I can't really just sit around and ask people to donate, I had to really do something to get that money, so I started to buy some basic things, like kitchen stuff and jewelry, and finally I got a box of chocolates. I have a friend that will help me all the time, she is really sweet, and I gave the box of chocolate to her, her daughters told their friends about the chocolates and they sold all the chocolates, all that money will go to the polar plunge, so far the idea is going well since they are asking for a donation and not an actual price.
I love them to pieces, and now I need to get more chocolate. Oh and the kitchen stuff will also be given with donations, I'm really confident that I will reach that goal and it won't be as stressing as it was last year, I will just have to worry about the expenses of the trip and the hotel and not the goal, we pay for our expenses, I don't use the donated money for any of the expenses all the donated money goes to the special Olympics.
I'm also super exited about this years Halloween, because we have season passes for a themed park and we will be going there as soon as they open the new Halloween attractions I also told you all about the new adventure.
I am making YouTube videos again and I will keep on making them, in English and Spanish, I have a few reviews now, you can check them out if you like... Let me know what you think.
