We like to see them in person.

But I have a feeling you'll be perfect for this job.

And I'd like to hire you.

Tears were rolling down my cheek.

I was so thankful.

And so he tells me it's a nine-day job.

And he offered to pay me 200 times what Macy's had offered.

All I can say was the most amazing nine days of my life.

And if I had known about cornea donation before my son died, I would have said yes.

And I realized that not only could I do what I love to do to pay the bills, I could use it to help make a difference.

Well, for the next year and a half, just little miracles started popping up like that, little job miracles.

And two months ago, I moved out of my sister's bedroom into my own beautiful 1921 two-bedroom apartment in Detroit, in a neighborhood that was once elegant and that has seen the worst and is on the rise with a new beginning and a new life, just like me.

So here I am, ladies and gentlemen, doing what I love to do for the rest of my life.

Thank you.
