Wonderful Mith! This is the kind of news I've been waiting and hoping for. It definitely seems like a step - or several steps - in the right direction. I'm glad you were able to talk to Chas and that the conversation was positive and productive. I hope the call brought you some peace knowing you're helping make a difference in the lives of others.
