So actually, we used to do like a yearly fundraiser. I think it used to be like poker. Y'all used to have a poker night or something?
All for charity.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
Yeah, we used to do poker and we used to do other fundraisers. But now the only thing that we do is a monthly newsletter. And that brings in so much money. So we don't really, which is like a good problem to have. But we don't really need to do a bunch of fundraisers anymore because like Miamou has so much money now from people donating. Yeah.
And so we still do our Miamou Funday, which is like first weekend of October. And so it's March now. So we had that a few months ago. But everyone I've talked to, and I guess you can say this too, that was the best year that we've had.
We had so many people come from my school. We had 12 students come. As volunteers. As volunteers. And we did a color run. And each color represented something different.
that they like became clothed with on their white shirts so that whenever they left the BMU fun day weekend like they left it was like strength wisdom like things like that that now they like could carry with them throughout the rest of the year yeah because it's a very tough venture as you can attest there's lots of surgeries lots of pain and you're just you feel different you look different so yeah it was a it was a huge success and just to
I think I didn't realize how intense my childhood was until I got older. And an example I've always thought is at Camp Chioka, we have prayer night. And I never asked during prayer night, hey, like I'm having surgery coming up. Like it just didn't feel, it wasn't really a burden on my heart of like, oh, I'm having this surgery. Like, hey, I need prayers. Like I've had a hard life.
Like that never, that thought never crossed my mind. I never once brought that up. And like now that I'm older, I'm like, I cannot believe I never thought that that was like a big deal. Like, oh, hey, I'm about to have surgery and I can't chew food for a year. Please pray for me. It was like, oh, no, just have another surgery. Like going to Dallas every six weeks. Like it felt like so normal.
And so I would like ask for prayer about something else that's like was much smaller. Like, oh, like something about school. Yeah. And so until I had a big surgery, my junior year of high school, now that I was older, like it really affected me. Yeah. And like it made my like, which I guess maybe, I guess you would notice, but like my face changes slightly every time I have surgery.
Well, like after like a year of surgery, like my face just looks a little bit different. We know everyone's like, they can still tell that's Mia. Oh, hey, it's Mia. But like slight changes. But the older you get, they say the harder it is to have like major facial surgeries. Because even though it's like, yeah, that's still my face.
it looks just a little bit different, which is really hard on you.
So I didn't realize that until my junior year. I was like, I look different. I sound different. And it was really hard on me.
To be honest, I always have one breakdown. And Dad saw it one time. Dad will lock himself in his room, basically, when I have surgery because he cannot see me. And it's not like he's a bad dad. It's just like it's hard for him to see me suffering.
But I always have one, and it's just because... Usually, I mean, anybody's like this when they're hungry. Like you are just at your worst. You're so hungry. And I've eaten the same meal for like three weeks. And all I want is like a cheeseburger or something.
And I'm just so ready for it to be done. And I remember after that surgery I had two years ago or a year and a half ago, they were like, oh, like three weeks, you know, and then you can eat solid food. I was like three weeks. This is the best day of my life. Like it's not like eight or 10 and like three weeks go by and we FaceTime my doctor and he's like, yeah, good to go.
And then my orthodontist calls me. He's like, no, you need to wait six more weeks. And I was like, okay. So they were kind of going back and forth and they're like, no, you need to wait. And I just like lost it. We were watching some like chick flick, me and my mom were on the couch and I just lost it because I just wanted to eat like a burger so bad.
And dad walked out and you were talking to mom and then you like saw me and you were like, and then he just walked back in.
Too much drama.
Yeah. So it always happens. I just feel like ever since then, ever since my junior year, I've always had like one like day where I just want to like cry.
