Prom for kidney teens and young adults

[Goofy]

Brianna, I was also going to ask if you need a dress.  I live close to the WI border (by Kenosha).  Not sure where you live but I would also be willing to deliver it to you.  I've made lots of and lots of trip to WI!!   Even if you're several hours away, I would still come.  I could just make it a little road trip!!

They are dresses from my daughter.  I think they are between size 4, 6 or 8.  I'm not really sure.  But if you are in that range of size, I may have something you'd like.

Now we all know that young (and old!!) girls like to be pampered and you can't go the prom with out getting a manicure so if you'd like, PM me and give me the name of a place you'd like to go and I will make sure the service gets paid.

As far as pampering goes, I'm not one for that kind of stuff but I hope you are!!

I'm not going this year, anymore. My friend can't go, my mom can't take me, because she can't travel for three months because of an eye surgery she had, and I didn't even rsvp yet! I was just so stressed about all this, I just decided not to go this year. My grandpa and I agree that next year would be better for me to go. I'm upset, but I'm going next year no matter what! And Jes, I still want to meet you! I want to show you my scar on my arm, so you know what to expect, but not Tuesday, because we have too much to do.

Thanks for the help though, everyone! I really, really, really appreciate it!!!!!!

<3 Brianna

Brianna, let's all start planning now for your prom next year!   You seem to have many fairy godmothers and godfathers who really want this to happen for you.   It will be fun for all of us to be in on a year of preparations.

Brianna, I sent you a PM and if you change your mind, I can help. But if you come next year that would be great too! Don't stress!

Today I volunteered at the prom dress distribution. The RSN van was loaded with dresses driven to UCLA's pediatric dialysis unit where volunteers set up tables filled with gowns and wraps, while longer gowns were hung all around the hospital meeting room. Watching the young ladies (14, 15, 16 years old) picking out dresses to try on was amazing. The girls are so young, so beautiful, and so filled with hope! I hope to post a couple of photos later. It was a heartbreaking and heartwarming experience - both at the same time.

Wow makes me almost (ALMOST!) wish I was a teenager again!!!

 

Brianna I am sorry you could not go this year and I'm more sorry that you got so stressed about it - it's supposed to be fun and special for you to celebrate.. not to cause stress.

Just know that my offer totally still stands for next year. I will provide two tickets for you and your mom or someone else to head from WI to Los Angeles to attend the prom!!!!

We all want to help you get there!!!

KUDO's to you RichardMEL -- reading this thread has warmed my heart.

Brianna, I hope that you get the arrangements sorted out and get to go. Safe journey and please give us the very 'superficial' account of all the fun that you have. We wouldn't want you betraying any of your secrets.

Sounds good Brianna!  Let me know, maybe we can do something some weekend, and don't think youhave to come to me. I'm usually pretty free on the weekends so I can drive out to you. Even though you can't go to this prom, if you get around to needed anything for your school's prom (not sure if you have a prom or not) my offer still stands for you to grab any of my stuff.
