Mary’s
Sacrifice
As
contributions come in, many come with letters from the donor. A lot of those letters talk about TQ and his
antics, but many of them come with touching personal stories. In the letter I received from Mary Emmert,
she talked about living in a retirement home while her husband stayed in an
assisted living facility with Alzheimers.
She described their expenses as “astronomical,” and yet they managed to
make a donation. Not only that, she
wished me luck with the documentary.
Even though she said she didn’t have anything to add to the TQ story,
her sacrifice for the project, despite her circumstances is exactly what the TQ
story is about. I promised Mary I would
make every dollar do the work of two or three other dollars and I would finish
the movie. When people believe in you
like that, you have to perform. After
reading a letter like that, sitting down to write thank you cards doesn’t seem
so tedious. Opening accounts and putting
the financial house in order isn’t so unglamorous anymore. Plotting out the next steps and making
contact with people who can help the project doesn’t seem like grunt work
anymore. Thank you Mary. Your sacrifice
is my inspiration.
